The X-Men wasn't the name Stan Lee wanted to originally go with for the title of one of the most popular comics ever. Stan Lee wanted to call the comic, "The Mutants," but it was rejected by the publisher. So Stan based the comics name after their leader, Charles Xavier - The X-Men.
Charles Xavier started the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, (now known as the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning). There he could train mutants in secret and help them control their unusual powers. The institute is also the home to an elite group of mutants that Xavier uses to help protect humans from harm and evil. These heroes are known as, The X-Men.
Nightcrawler is a mutant who can teleport by opening a portal into another dimension, travelling through it via an unconscious direction-finding sense, and returning to his own dimension. When teleporting, Nightcrawler leaves behind a small portion of the atmosphere of the other dimension that escapes with a muffled “bamf” sound and smells of brimstone.
Nightcrawler can easily teleport north south along Earth's magnetic lines of force. However, teleporting east west against them or teleporting vertically is more difficult.
The cache will need to be accessed by a "mechanism" of sort. Please reset the cache back as you find it.This is a log only cache despite the size.Please bring a pen or pencil. Not your typical cache hide,don't let it ssstartle you.

*There are some steep hills nearby,if you choose that route to get to the cache be cautious ;especially if their is snow on the ground or in the fall when all the downed leaves the slopes can be pretty slippery. The cache is near a creekbed dropoff. Be mindful of this and be sure all members of your cache crew are aware .Have fun and stay safe : ) *
