Geocache Description:


Mission data log located within.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY!!

**Note**

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE CACHES ARE CLOSED TIGHT!

This is not a power trail! This is 164 caches spread over 26 miles and filling your Fizzy grid TWICE. If this is not your kinda thing please put it in your ignore list.

Crime is running rampant in the area. Not random crime, but a tightly interwoven syndicate dominated by three families - Amato, Galichio and Delveccio. They have begun to influence local business, private citizens, and possibly local law enforcement.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to hunt down the key members of the crime families and take out the Syndicate.

You cannot just capture, arrest and convict the Boss. Another boss will take his place. There is no "head" to cut off. You must capture all of the crime family members to stop organized crime in the area once and for all. The current Agency plan is to track down the soldiers of each family. Lower in status, they will surely crack under the pressure of interogation and reveal secrets to other family members that are higher in the organization. Once the soldiers and capos have been run down, it will just be a matter of time before the enforcers are captured, followed by each of the bosses.

This is not an easy assignment. But, with an unbending will, and perseverence, you will succeed, break the grip of this Syndicate and free this area from the influence of organized crime.

Good luck. Destroy this message after reading...

**Cache at your own risk**

Geocaching, hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities involve risk to both persons and property. There are many variables including, but not limited to, weather, fitness level, terrain features and outdoor experience, that must be considered prior to seeking a Cache. Be prepared for your journey and be sure to check the current weather and conditions before heading outdoors. Always exercise common sense and caution. Because this series is located on a trail, and the desire is to offer caches of every distinct type, please keep in mind that the caches on this trail were hidden to reflect a higher terrain rating by incorporating the need for a TOTT, specifically, climbing sticks or a ladder. If you review a cache page for a T-4 or T-5 cache, you can assume that a tree will need to be climbed. You will discover, as you find more caches in the series, that there is a method to this madness. You may not agree with some of the cache ratings. We understand this. You may think some caches are downright unfair or unreasonable. We understand this, too. Please remember that this is a game, an incredibly fun game, but a game nonetheless. Enjoy the fun, ignore the frustrating. This needs repeating - come out and HAVE FUN!
