My Aunt Sue lives in The Colony, so I brought her along when I hid this cache near her house.

 

This cache is a two part multi cache.
Stage 1 is completely different, highly camoflaged, and contains only the coordinates for stage 2. It is not very big.

Stage 2 is a simple to find lemonade container that has been painted.

I ran this sheet on the 17th. Today I spent about an hour seeking stage 1. So when I get home, aw man! At least now I know. When I was leaving the area I looked at several spots that might have held the final but found nada. Did find a good softball by a big tree just beyond the fence. Also when I pulled out of the parking lot I saw a sign that said improvements are coming soon but it didn't give any date.

I'm not sure why we never have done this one before, but anyway, we were in The Colony doing some cache maintenance and decided to do these we hadn't done.

At stage 1, I saw something that looked a little weird, and when I picked it up, the camo basically crumbled. After we got the coordinates, I did the best I could, but it doesn't look very camoflaged anymore.

TNLN, thanks!

Found on 2nd attempt. This is well hidden/disguised.

Found stage 2 pretty quickly. Hid it a little better than I found it.

TL:N

Thanks!!!

I looked and looked. In the trees on the ground... in my shoes, pockets, under my hat. Couldn't find it. I wonder if it is now covered by a bunch of leaves. I'm trying to figure out what Aunt Sue looks like. Cow Pie, Lurker, Flounder, Thumbkin???? With Akulakat the list is endless. I wish I had read the logs in detail before I set out on the trip. It may have helped.

11:15 am Took us a little while to find Stage 1, but it was there. Another great Akulakat camouflage job! The second stage seemed very exposed, but it was in great shape. TN/Left frog. Thanks.

I still have not figured out the hint but found stage one any way. I kept in mind Akulakat's Native American level of camo skills and lucked onto stage one, also the coordinates were right on. It was not far from being covered up with fall leaves, so I added a few more to add to the next cacher's challenge.

Lots of fun.

I took my kids with me and the first one took us a bit. Very well hidden. Nice job. The second one we found easly. A word of advice is to pay close attention to the details.

Wow!! What a nice cache. I showed two of my friends what GeoCaching was about and we just about flipped at the first stage. We were totally impressed, (got those of you who haven't been wondering now, don't I?). You have to think about this one and where it can it be. The second stage was actually easier but we did walk right by it, at lease till the GPS caught up with us. Then we zeroed right in. Wonderful cache!!!

2nd times a charm. And of course, now I know about the sneakiness of Akulakat. What a nice little walk, and just outside my backdoor. I liked especially the goalpost garden. Took hot wheels and left wildflower mix.TT

6th of 7 today. Stage one took us at least 15 minutes to find because there was no trail of poison ivy for us to follow as with Akulakat's other caches. Stage one is indeed highly camoflauged, but something made me go hmmm...and sure enough there it was. The inside smelled funny and was covered with tiny crustaceans. There was no PI around stage 2 so again it took us a little while to find it. I snapped pics of the sunset while G-O-GardenerGal T/yellow car L/blue car from the original Pop Goes The Weasel container, S/L. Thanks for another great camo job and a fun cache,

SBK & SBQ found 'Akulakat TOO' a few hours before me, so I expected the same for this one. I saw their tracks in the mud near the first stage, but it looked like they had either found it quickly or given up as there wasn't much trace near my ground zero. I finally found it after a lengthy twenty plus minute search. I had spent most of time a good ten feet away. I still thought I might be FTF as stage one looked undisturbed and I didn't see their tracks on the trail to the second stage. Alas, I was only second to sign the logbook. They must of walked on the grass.

FTF! This was awesome! In the rain this was even more fun! We got there after being pumped from finding Akulakats Too #2 and were determined to find this one as well. We searched a general area in the woods for over an hour and were calling it quits when I decided to check out something on the way out that I had looked at twice. I cannot put into words how awesome this camo job is! Us and the rest of the geocaching world are in for a lot of no finds if this keeps up!
The second stage was more of a victory lap after finding the first stage and we didn't mind having the black gumbo dirt stick to our shoes as we moved in on the final cache.
Caches like this make it all worth while!
Thanks Akulakat for another oustanding quality cache,
