Get The Point? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Krypton: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:

This is a fun family cache in a wonderful, hidden park in Ripon. The hunt has three points to complete but should go rather quickly.


THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATE. However, the tool you'll need is.

A quick reminder that Geocaching is a low impact activity. If you're hunting with children (or people that are acting like children), please take the time to educate them on what low impact means. There is absolutely no reason to disturb the plants or wildlife while hunting this cache.

To complete this cache you must locate a tool (which is the key of sorts), take it to a given location (as marked in it's container's lid) and use it to ''unlock'' the cache location... kind of like Raiders of the Lost Ark. You may already have one of these tools but please borrow our loaner (and then return it).

The posted coordinates will start you off. It will lead to the tool that you need to find the cache. The tool is in a container that is hidden from muggles. It's located in the high shade. Get the tool and put the now empty container back. You'll be returning it back after the hunt.
NOTE: If the container was already empty, just take a walk around and look for the other cachers.

Now that you have the tool, go to the coordinates posted with the tool where you'll find PVC. You'll have to figure out how to use that tool you brought with you. There should be a couple choices but we're sure you'll make the correct decision.

Remember to cache in the stealth mode. Return everything as you found it so the next cachers can have fun too. The cache when placed contained:

FTF Prize (plus bragging rights)
Geo-Note
Log Book
Pencil
A Toad
An Umbrella
A Bracelet

There's room to trade small items but you'll need to take before you give. It's full.

We hope you enjoy this new hunt (which was inspired by none other that FizzyMagic - Thanks Fizzy!).
