Geocache Description:


T1X Training Mission
prepare for Black Mesa
 

The Mission
After the Black Mesa Research Facility has been destroyed a few weeks ago this is just a training mission. Not all readings are back to normal so you have to prepared for the worst. We do believe that in the aftermath of the incident there will occur some complications in the near future.


WARNING!
The great outdoors isn't the place from the TV-commercials with blue skies and fleecy clouds.There are no fresh towels or machines with all-in-one shampoo in the wild. It is as far as possible away from our sterile world with their safety belts, guardrails, seat cushions and "please wash your hands now" signs. This is how it should be and this is why we love it. Geocaching was in the truest sense of the word inspired by the unforeseen and inhospitable. If the enemy is the unknown, a perfect performance is not a luxury but a necessity. With geocaching, mountaineering and other outdoor activities, you have to face real dangers. Just because your equipment can cope with everything, that does not mean you can too. Have great respect for the environment in which you find yourself. Be prepared for everything!  
 
I hope you enjoyed the reading but seriously:
 
This cache is dangerous and can cause severe injuries or death! Thunderstorms, rain, strong winds, high waves (> 1m) and lack of skills are the greatest threats to your health and safety!
This cache is several kilometres off coast. Do not attempt if you haven't done this before and know the risks involved. Go there in groups if you take a canoe, kayak or SUP.
DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID!


(The Hunt)
There is a yellow magnetic key-holder attached to the bottom side of the top. It should be easy to spot otherwise it's gone.
 
So this is it. After 71 caches placed / events hosted over 7 years, this very cache is the first micro I place. Please accept my apologies in advance for this micro-cache.

Be prepared
