Definition of CONCATENATION = (noun): A series of links
united; a series or order of things depending on each other, as if
linked together; a chain, a succession. From the Latin com- (with)
+ catena (chain).
Cache is a lock-n-lock filled with key chains. There is an
unactivated Travel Lizard Geocoin (on a chain!) as a prize for the
FTF.
Before meeting friends nearby to find a new cache in the area,
we explored the trails, saw this spot, and a voice in our heads
told us to place a cache here. The cache is along one of many
excellent mountain bike trails in the Shindagin Hollow area. Ithaca
was apparently selected as one of the top 5 places to live for a
mountain biker, primarily due to the Shindagin Hollow trail system
and you will see some of the impressive stunt areas as you approach
this cache.
This cache is inspired by the placement of NyPaddleCacher's Area
51: Shingadin Hollow which followed upon IthacaDoodle's Black Bear
on Bald Hill which followed upon Vanelle's Chain Reaction?
Absolutely! which in turn was inspired by IthacaDoodle's Chain
Reaction on Bald Hill which in turn was inspired by
NYPaddleCacher's Split Personality which in turn was inspired by
Adium's Bald Mountain. Feel free to contribute to the Chain
Reaction of caches in the area when you come to find this one. This
cache also follows up on a series idea I've had of "lookalike"
puzzles that resemble other puzzle caches but are solved in
entirely different ways (ways I've discovered while trying to crack
the originals!).
