Geocache Description:



A very large cache rests in a front yard... 173 Moull Street (it says "SPENCE" on the mailbox)... finding the cache isn't the problem - finding a KEY is the tricky part!

There are 10 copies of the same key, each attached to a travel bug. Those travel bugs are hidden in various other geocaches throughout Licking County:

CLICK ON ANY KEY FOR MORE INFORMATION


Find any geocache containing a key, bring the key to THIS geocache, and use the key to open the locks and claim a find!

The reason for the 5 difficulty... while not at all hard to find, the caching guidelines state a 5 difficulty if a cache"...requires specialized knowledge, skills, or equipment..." .


This cache was placed as part of The Collaboration Project (GC2BVZQ) puzzle. The codes contained in this cache are needed to solve that puzzle. To find the other caches needed to solve this puzzle, please refer to cache GC2BVZQ.

YOU ONLY NEED 1 OF THE KEYS TO ACCESS THE CACHE.

The cache is a 22 gallon deck box with a geocaching logo stenciled on it (pretty hard to miss). It is secured with two padlocks, both of which can be opened with a single key.

Once you use the key and sign the log, find a home for it in another cache LOCATED IN LICKING COUNTY.

As a last resort, you can leave the key in this cache and we can distribute it for you (just log a bug drop into this cache), but IF AT ALL POSSIBLE - hide it in another Licking County cache (even if it's the same one you originally retrieved it from)... that's what makes the game fun!

*PLEASE* keep the travel bugs in Licking County... this cache is already a 5 difficulty, don't make it any more difficult!

*PLEASE* keep the bugs moving... there are only 10 of these keys circulating, and no one can access the cache without them - move them along as quickly as possible for the sake of the other cachers in the area.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - *PLEASE* log the keys!!! If you grab them, move them, or place them somewhere LOG IT!!! Nothing is more frustrating than finding a key missing. We know from first hand experience, and TRUST us - we hear it frequently from cachers looking for the keys. We don't have any control over the way others play the game; all we can do is ask that you please be responsible and do the right thing.

This cache is located on private property with full permission and encouragement of the owner. We've informed the neighbors of it as well, so there shouldn't be any problems with people searching. The yard is atop a small hill, so unfortunately it's not easily wheelchair accessible, but it is *very* easy to access otherwise, and is located only a few feet from either Moull Street or Woods Avenue.
