Fugads: This cache had a good run, but it is apparently gone, and I am unable to replace it. Time to open up the area for someone else to use.

Geocache Description:


There is a constant danger overhead, hanging and threatening. This is the Sword of Damocles! And it is my belief that such a sword now resides right here in Santa Fe! Approach the coordinates carefully (and not at street level) and look for the swords that hang above. To lie beneath these swords is to face danger itself... and retrieving the geocache may be a feat of heroism in itself.

In all seriousness though, please use the pedestrian tunnel which goes underneath St. Francis street when you begin looking for this geocache. There are a number of nearby locations you can park, just be street smart about it. I put a lot of effort into a unique kind of container, and I have concerns that if geocachers do not use stealth when retrieving and rehiding this geocache, it will not last long. Do your best. And be careful, too, the Terrain rating of 4.5 is for a reason. If there are any issues with re-hiding the cache, do your best to put it in a safe place and contact me so that I can make things right.
