Is it just a myth? A LARGE geocache that has been placed as a dedication to a wonderful TV show? Nope, not a myth at all. It is confirmed. After I had the very good luck of actually meeting Jamie Hyneman and got to chat with him for some time, I decided to place a cache as a tribute to the MythBusters. This includes the cast and crew and those from the Discovery Channel that make this show happen. I wanted to make this a great cache and I thought that it would be best to place a large container. I’ve never placed a large cache before and this is a great time to do so. But, how to hide something that BIG in a city? Well, along the lines of my Master of Disguise series of caches, I figured that a camo cache was in order. It looks very much like something else you see just about everywhere. It sits out in the open and is not hidden at all. There are warnings on the container that can be ignored. If you see the word MYTH anywhere on it, it's safe to open. The cache door is secured by a combination lock and to get it open, you need to simply spell out the 1st name of one of the build team guys.
This cache will serve as a travel bug hotel as well. This will be home base for the Mythbuster Travel Bug race that I have set up also. The 5 cast member T-Bugs will race to any other cache with the words “Myth” or “Legend” in the cache name.
I hope everyone enjoys this cache and that it lives up to the expectations of those that have found some of my other caches. All I ask is that NO sticky labels be used in the log book. It is quite big and has plenty of room for you to write about the cache, the show or both. Please keep it in nice condition as I plan on giving the log to Jamie when it is full.
So what are you waiting for? Get out there and do some mythbusting of your own and log this cache as Confirmed! As always, be safe and HAVE FUN!
NOTE: It's in my front yard and neighbors know about it. It can be touched from the sidewalk.
