Geocache Description:

CACHE IS AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. However, once you locate the container you will have to gain access to the combination for the lock in order to open the cache log.



Significant additions / modifications have been made to the supplied length of PVC pipe. The finished container has been painted using Mr. GeoKs’ custom camo-painting technique.

Have you ever tried to do a maze blindfolded? That’s about as close as we can come to describing how this puzzle container works.

Locked within the container are a nano container and a cache log container. Once you find the puzzle container, your first task is manipulate the container to release the nano container. NOTE: there is a screw cap over the open end of the maze so that the nano container doesn't going flying through the air creating an extra search. The cache has been hidden in a spot that provides reasonable cover from traffic and nearby houses, so sit down and take your time. There’s no need for brute force. Patience is your best friend at this point.

The combination for the lock is inside the nano container. Use the combination in the standard R-L-R pattern to open the lock and gain access to the cache log container.

Once you’ve signed the log, please place BOTH the cache log container and the nano container in the locking end of the puzzle box, lock it up, screw the cap back on the small end of the PVC and then re-hide as found.

Although there is room in the puzzle box for trading items and trackables, please DON’T leave any such items in this cache, as they would prevent the nano container from moving through the interior PVC maze.

NOTE: This cache is for the CCARS09 event, and should not be sought out until after 5:30 pm on September 25th, 2009 and any logs before that will be deleted. CCARS09 caches are published the evening before to give everyone the chance to look at the cache listings, solve puzzles and devise their battle plans before the hunt begins.
