Bacon Cache Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Artemis: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thank you
Artemis

NOTE: Please do not log any travel bugs in an unlisted cache. Travel Bugs dropped in unlisted caches can give away your cache location before it is listed. Simply drop the TB into the cache after listing has been done.

[red]NOTE: do not reply by leaving a note on this cache. I am not notified if a note is posted to this cache. If you wish to respond to this message from the geocaching.com mail bot. Go to your cache page and e-mail Artemis from the log there or email me directly at Artemis.approver@gmail.com, referencing the cache URL's, or GCxxxx number. [/red]

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This cache offers a spectacular view of the valley. Come on up here and take in the view! In my opinion it's second only to [insert name here] Peak itself. While it is a visited location, it's low-traffic and a nice place to sit and eat lunch. Bring a sandwich!

The hike is about 1.5 miles round trip from the Apache parking area. To get started from there, take the 304 trail and head east at the 8B. Use your GPSr to get you the rest of the way.

There is a clear trail all the way to the cache. Please be sure you stay on it! The parks service frowns on off-trail activity. From conversations with rangers (they're vague) I have never had a reason to suspect that this trail is off limits. One thing they are clear on however... don't go in areas that are marked as closed or that do not have a trail.

The cache container is a 4" black ABS pipe capped on one end and with a screw top and a handle on the other. When replacing the cache please make sure not to tighten it to tight as it can be difficult to open until it's broken in.

Among other things there is a log book, pen and disposable camera. Take a pic of yourself (or anything) and leave the camera. Let me know in your Geocaching.com entry when it's full (or close to it) and I'll replace it and post the pics.

Have Fun!

EDIT: Changed description and hint for clarity as they seemed to be misunderstood.
