Geocache Description:

How many ways can you hide a cache in a typical wooden fence? I came up with 5 in this one.

This mini-series was started to just play around with different ways of hiding caches in the same kind of "host object" (a fence, bridge, tree stump etc.). Here's the concept:
Each cache in this series has a start point and an end point within a short distance of each other, and there are several containers hidden between those 2 points - but you will not get exact coordinates for each one (after all, you'll know exactly which object to search in). There is no Final or Stages as such. In order to claim a Find you simply have to find all the containers. All the containers will be hidden in the same general object (e.g. a fence) or in multiple objects of the same kind (e.g. 2 tree stumps that are close together), but not in any other kind of "host" (e.g. no mixing of lampskirts with fence posts). There is no restriction how close together the containers can be or how far apart, as long as they are within Start and End point.

Now about this particular Hide:
Here you have to find 5 micros in a typical old-fashioned wooden fence.

Please initial the smaller logs, and sign your full name only on the log that tells you to.

Under some weather conditions it may be hard to extract one or two of the micros from their hiding places - if you email me a description of what you found in what kind of hiding place, it will still count as a Find even if you cannot physically sign the log.

Newbie advisory: Hunting these caches can give you a quick way to learn about some different ways that caches can be hidden - but it also takes a lot of the fun out of discovering caches hidden by different cachers!
