Blowing Cave Bonus Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com!

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

Geocache Description:


Please note: the cache is not located at the above coordinates. The coordinates will put you at the dirt road that leads back to the cave. This cache is a 5/5 rated cache and that is not to be taken at all lightly. This cave contains very small holes that must be crawled through, lots of water that must be waded through, and sharp rocks that may/will cut you. The cave is hard to navigate and at times it is difficult to find where you need to go and how to get out. You will be phisically exhausted when you finish.

This cache is located 2+ hrs into the Blowing Cave located in Cushman. You can get to the cave by going down the dirt road that "Blowing Cave Cache" is located on. After grabbing "Blowing Cave Cache" continue heading down the dirt road. The road will split and you will need to go up the hill to the left. Park your vehicle here. Walk the trail around the hillside and you will walk straight into the mouth of the cave.

Deep in the cave there is a small waterfall (about 8-10 ft tall), you will know it when you see it (it's very loud!) To find the cache you need to crawl onto the top of the ledge of the waterfall. Make your way to the right of the waterfall and there you will find another ledge above you (one to your right and to your left) On the ledge above you and to your left there are some small stalagmites (approx. 2-3ft. tall) You should be able to stand up and reach around to the back of these and grab the cache. The cache is a green 4" PVC container and can been seen easily through the spacing between the stalagmites.

Well, now you're on your own. HOWEVER: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET THIS CACHE ON YOUR OWN! We would love to guide you to this cache, but we are all too exhausted to attempt this anytime soon. You need to ensure that someone knows where you are before you attempt to grab this cache. Note: you will not get much of a cell phone signal anytime past Batesville. If you would like to contact us feel free to do so. We would be glad to give you any further information that you would like including, but not limited to of course, a packing list of stuff you may want to take.

beezerb, a local cacher, has informed me that the Cushman general store is often a good place to let someone local know that you are in the cave.

Original contents of the cache include: FTF prize ($20 Wal-Mart giftcard), logbook and pencil, a camera (please take a picture of yourself and leave it in the cache), travel size container of shower gel, and a pack of AA batteries.

Like we said above, it took us 2hrs. to get to the spot where the cache is placed. If you are not familiar with this cave you should plan on taking a little more time. Overall time spent roundtrip was 3.5hrs.

Be sure to visit "Above Below" which is another cache placed in the area that is very close to the opening of the cave.
