Geocache Description:

This is a traditional, OFFSET, CD Swap cache which WILL require the HINT and may require some very minimal bush-whacking. The cash is kid-friendly, but young kids should be watched closely.
Parking available nearby. When leaving the area, stop BEFORE the bridge to get a green light.

 

 

Duck and Cover
(CD Swap Cache)


This is an off-set, traditional, CD swap cache in a regular green ammo can. Depending on the time of year, some very minimal bush-whacking could be required.

Once you get to the starting coordinates, USE THE HINT below to reach the nearby cache.Don't forget to bring a CD along to trade. For reasons that will be more obvious when you get there, the croakier and quackier the music you bring to swap, the better. Please log all (even return) visits, but only grab a CD if you've brought one to drop.

The cache area is a peaceful, tucked-away spot near the busy roads of town that should get more attention--and then again, maybe its obscurity is its appeal. The local residents are used to visitors and can be fairly noisy. They have a hard time minding their own business so use some stealth around the cache--though they're not likely to disturb it.

The term "Duck and Cover" was popularized by this nation in the late 40's and 50's and describes a method of protecting oneself from the effects of an Atom bomb blast. While borrowing the title, this cache is NOT related in any way to any civil defense initiatives. Be advised, however, that there may still be airborne threats from above, and remnants to avoid underfoot.

Thanks, have fun, and remember the HINT
--We are "The Seven G's"

  Just For Fun
  • While Online:
  • While Caching:
    • Bring along some old bread in case you (or someone else) gets hungry.
    • Visit the darling Flemish GIANTS that live near the bridge (Note: there are also large "wild" ones around too, so keep a look out)

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[You'll NEED this hint for the offset--Now that you've Ducked, go find Cover! Walk NNE for 220 feet, and then follow rising gases for 150 feet. Good hunting!]
