Geocache Description:


To get to the third stash you have to pass a dangerous washout where there is a long way to fall.


You'll see several stunning vistas, though.



You might even run into Bambi

When I got there, I hid IGC #3 behind this tree by some eggs, isn't that a weird thing to find?



Here is my unmodified minivan, the tree, and some eggs.

Here is just the minivan. Good luck!


The above is the original cache page for Eggcellent, formerly known as Idaho Geocache Challenge #3 (IGC3). Initially launched June 21st, 2000 on the now-defunct geocache.ryjones.org. The cache was announced on the sci.geo.satellite-nav usenet group and listed on geocaching.com when the site became active.
