This cache is placed as a Tribute Cache for tbbiker, who resides in Mayodan, NC. He has accomplished one of his geocaching goals of finding 10,000 caches. Well Done!!!
This cache is a 5 Stage Multi Cache in which only the Final Stage has a physical container. The stages are spread out over Mayodan, NC, so a car, motorcycle or maybe bicycle is necessary for this cache. Cachers must answer questions at each Stage to move on to the next Stage. Also, being that this is a Tribute Cache, please exercise geocaching etiquette by allowing tbbiker to be the first to find this cache. This cache container is a micro, so BYOP and maybe some tweezers. Good Luck!!
