GC: Shiftys' Grunge Match Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

GOTCHA Challenge – Shiftys' Grunge Match

You are seeking a cache which is part of the GOTCHA Mega-Multi Challenge. To complete the challenge, you must log each cache in the series and obtain the information needed to locate the final puzzle cache. For more information on completing the challenge, consult the GOTCHA Challenge - Success cache listing (GC160ZF).



Here is my cache for the Gotcha Challenge. I have to admit, this is not the original cache placement. I did have one about .2 miles away that was much more my style. However, I fought battles with myself and in the end, goodness triumphed over evil. You are hunting for an Ammo can, what? An Ammo Can? Yes, thats correct. Shifty, hid and ammo can. The hide itself is not that spectacular, but the location is. I have scouted this area out and have 2 other caches in place for this unused part of the greenbelt. I didn't even know of it's existence until I made a wrong turn down a road, but then again, thats what starts some cool hides isn't it?

Chances are while hunting for this cache, you will come into contact with some grunge, and wish you had a match. With that being said, bring some sort of illuminating object and wear old clothing. Replace it exactly as found if not hidden better.

The information you will need to complete the series will be found on the front and back of the logbook. Since I don't hide ammo cans often the cache at this moment is completely empty, feel free to add stuff to it if you like. Keep an eye out for muggles and transients. There are a few of them lurking about.

For an interesting backstory, see if you can find BicCachers and ask him about our run in with the undercover police officers...:)
