How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Use your text messaging cell phone to receive clues to find the final cache coordinates. Easy terrain, simple hide. Bring a teenager if you need help. Read the entire instructions before heading out.

You will need a text messaging phone or SmartPhone to complete this cache. SMS Messages sent from a standard text messaging phone will get replies faster than emailed via Smartphone. Standard SMS rates will apply and the CO is not responsible for carrier charges.

First, you will need to text or email "Cunningham Park SMS Cache" to "mickeynurse.geo@gmail.com". Try it from home as a test. If it works, you have your first clue in hand and are ready to head out and find the cache. Once at the listed coordinates, use the clue for the next answer. Keep texting or emailing you answers to "mickeynurse.geo@gmail.com". (If it doesn't work, PM me and I'll troubleshoot as best as I can. If you are hitting Reply, make sure you are repling to mickeynurse.geo@gmail.com and not replying to a wrong email address. This happens on some texting phones.)

Each clue will require you to fill in the blanks. Spelling counts, so if you do not receive a reply, you either have the answer wrong, or check your spelling.

The final cache is near the beginning coordinates, and all the clues are close to the starting point. You will not have to cross the street to answer any of the clues, nor will you need to venture into the wooded areas or the playground. If done correctly, you will only need to send 5 SMS messages or emails. Final cache is small, with a log and room for SMALL trades. BYOP.

Congratulations *Jeremy* on the FTF in the rain. From posting to solving the final about 1hr.
