I SPY (Yomitan Edition) #6 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Aoitori: I did a long overdue Yomitan cache maintenance run with Flickchick today. Checked for this one and couldn't find a trace of the unique outer container or the container within. Sadly, I don't have the ability to replicate it at the moment, so it will have to go. Thanks for all the logs!

Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the "I SPY (Yomitan Edition)" series. Creative and unusual containers are hidden around Yomitan. Read the riddle, keep your eyes open, and maybe you'll spy the cache! 

 

In 2010 the cachers "MrandMrsM" created a series of caches in the Awase area called "I Spy With My Little Eye." Each of the caches was unique and required particularly keen observational skills to discover. As I was reminiscing about the fun and frustration of those "I Spy" hunts, I realized that, largely by accident, I had accumulated quite a few interesting and creative cache containers-- enough that I could indeed create an "I Spy" style series of my own here in Yomitan!

Like in the original series, the hint for the cache is the riddle in the description. Also like in the original, I will be releasing a Final cache after the others come out. You will need to gather a small piece of information from each other I SPY cache in order to find the Final.

Please Note: Because the cache containers are themselves clues for the Final, all logs containing photos of the cache containers will be deleted and you will be asked to re-log without the picture.

This container was a gift. This location is the answer to the question: "I wonder what's down those stairs?" For this one there IS an additional hint, mostly because I don't want to risk you disturbing a tomb. And here's your riddle:

I could be decent fuel,

Or left over from a board,

But before you scrap or burn me,

Check inside my drawer.

 

Info needed: What color is the sticker on the cache container?

***Congrats to TheRedBierens for the FTF!***
