BAD NEWS: Baby
New Year is missing.
GOOD NEWS: The New Year's Eve party
continues until he's found!
Without baby New Year to replace Father Time, it looks as though
we'll be singing Auld Lang Syne for
a while yet. After all, we can't ring in the New Year without all
the guests of honor.
This cache is a PARTY cache working on the honor system. There
is a disposable camera and 27 party poppers in the initial cache
which will be hidden on New Year's Eve. The first 27 people to find
the cache should sign the log (located inside the lid of the
container), and take a picture of themselves while popping ONE of
the poppers. Please take only one picture and use only one popper
so that 27 cachers can enjoy ringing in the New Year long after
January 1st has come and gone.
Congratulations to
sabresfan13 for being FTF!
Of the 27 or so pictures taken, I will post
the 20 "best" images. By "best" I don't necessarily mean photogenic
(as evidenced by pics of Puttzy and FailedApparatus!) but just the
ones in which you can make out a cacher's mug. I have to assume
temperature, time of day, and quality of camera were all limiting
factors in how this cache idea worked out. Thanks to all who
participated and I'll try to come up with a new idea for ringing in
2012! For now, this cache will remain as a "generic" traditional
hide.
There are at least 3 places to park for approaching this cache.
I am including a waypoint for what I consider to be the best
parking location. However, from this location, the path to the
cache could rate as high as a 4 for terrain. I tried several and
have the wet, muddy, thorn-covered clothing to prove it. IF YOU
WALK ALONG THE MAIN ROAD FROM THE PARKING LOT PAST THE BUILDING,
AND ENTER THE WOODS JUST PAST THE HANDRAIL, YOUR ENTRY WILL BE
*SIGNIFICANTLY* EASIER. Just a PSA for people who actually bother
to read the entire description page!
