Access this cache from a paved bike path. Parking is available at a nearby shopping center. Note: 7/23/05 We added a hint because the purpose of this cache is to be found by seekers.
Addendum 8/19/05: The cache has been moved (coords updated) from its original location and provided some additional camo for the interim while we continue to brainstorm a solution that will make this cache less muggle-prone.
The intent of this cache is to provide a variety of cache containers and tools to be used to establish other geocaches. As the Mother of other caches, it would be nice if the children could drop a note home to let Mama Cache know where they have set up house. After all the kids leave home, Mama wants to run a boarding home for weary travelers.

Cache WAS a waterproof camouflaged container big enough to hold the following items:

· ~40 micro containers each approximating the size of a classic Zippo lighter or floss container. These can be clipped onto a belt or hung from a button, a branch, or what have you. Originally designed to hold and carry earplugs on a lanyard.
· 1 large clear plastic Jelly Belly bean jar.
· 4 memo books for use as logs (plus one for the cache log!).
· 1 heart-shaped Altoids container.
· 1 regular size Altoid container.
· 1 mini mint container.
· 2 round Altoid containers.
· 1 4-inch X 1-inch plastic screw top tube with aluminum cap.
· Several magnet strips.
· 6 Pencils
· Ten stencils “GEOCACHE” (½-inch letter).
· Two extreme micro toothpick containers.
· 10 English/Spanish stash notes.
· First To Find prize of a USB mini-digital camera/web cam

8/19/05 UPDATE: Cache container is now a large cookie can (not waterproof) that is stuffed to the brim.

Wow, what a day that was! With a few very long bike trails in the area it was worth hiring bikes and going for it. Another very hot day and it was easy going with a tailwind (until we turned tail and headed back to the bike rental place again when we had a head wind).

72 today, on the fourth day of our geocaching trip from England. It's been fun so far!

We took the white Jeep which will shortly be heading to England.

Thanks for setting this cache.

Another day and today we three from the UK decided to do the bikencache series and a few odd ones further North.
We managed to find some "old" bikes to hire close to the end of the series.
We had to adjust just about everthing on the bikes as it looked like they had been found in a field...rusty, dirty and very old looking, however they did the job.
Thanks for the caches.

"Virtually" dropping a coin (Geosquid) ...

This coin was apparently moved to this cache without being logged. Coggins discovered it, so it is apparently in this cache....
