"The Pit" Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

We received the following email from a fellow cacher:

"We swung by today at the pit with flashlights to find the key. It is not there. We found the ammo case and the lock is destroyed. It looks like kids have taken over as we cleaned up loads of trash and there are logs beginning to cover the top. We grabbed the ammo can and stashed it at stage one. Case in good shape. You'll need bolt cutters."

Because this little gem of an area has been discovered by others who do not appreciate its beauty we must let this cache go. [:(]

Thanks to all who visited "The Pit"

Geocache Description:


WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

DO NOT! We repeat, DO NOT! attempt this cache in the dark!

One false move will mean serious injury or death! Consider leaving the really little ones at home for this one, and tie the pooch to a tree if you have to. By all means be careful and be aware of your surroundings.

That being said,

This cache has a 2-½ star terrain rating for a reason. It would be a 5-star if it were not for the secret “safe passage” entryway that you must find after first finding three intermediate stages.

You start by searching for a five-inch square metal container; enclosed are instructions on how to proceed. Each step of the way will bring you closer to...“The Pit.” Just don’t go over the edge, OK?

All intermediate stages are located close to the CT Greenways trail if you can keep track of where it goes. Remember, getting there is half the fun. Total round trip is about a mile. Please do not stray onto the Water Supply Company property marked by "No Trespassing" signs and yellow markers.

The final is a 30-caliber ammo that as of 3/20/06, seems to be a bug hotel (where did all the stuff go?)

Note: In the interest of fun for all, please do not post spoiler pics, including pictures of the “safe passage.” Thanks!
