Distant Harbor Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

WildcatRegi: This cache has been destroyed by 'RiverRatGarmin' who says the heavy traffic (about 1 car every 3 weeks) is too much for him to live with.

He also says the digging in areas near the cache by those who were looking for it was too destructive (I guess the bulldozers left too many tracks in the sand).

I thank all of you who have enjoyed visiting this site and leaving your messages, you are the reason I will continue in geocaching.

Merry Christmas to all!

Geocache Description:

Be careful not to park in private subdivisions and watch out for slippery hillsides. Cache is within 2 yards of beach.

Note: This cache was first planted in April of 2001, 16 months ago.

There has been a total of 26 visitors (Welcome to each and every one of you!). This comes out to about 1 visitor every 3 weeks.

Even assuming each and every visitor arrived by road, which they did not, that means 1 car has gone past the Rat's house every 3 weeks.

Although this is a public, county road and a public beach, RiverRat has threatened to destroy the cache because that 'heavy' traffic is too much for him to live with!

So please be aware that it may no longer be there but stay and enjoy the beach.

I used an old ammo box, painted black to make it less obvious, and the contents are in a ziploc bag.

To make this cache a little more challenging and to enjoy a nice hike along the shoreline, park in the Lexington Harbor and enjoy the rocks and waves along the way.

Be sure to decipher the hidden clue if you're not starting in the harbor.
