Indian Pond Underwater Railroad Multi-cache

FFFarmer: After several months of deliberation we have decided to archive this cache for good. We really enjoy this area as most do who visit it. When we originally set this multi-cache up it was a two day project, we camped at the launch area and spent both days checking and re-checking co-ords, and placing all the legs. We knew this was going to be a work-out for anyone that wanted to do it and that it would be a commitment by those who did, this was not a cache that the post would read "this was #__ of several found today” if you made the commitment to find this one you would only have time for a couple others on the way in or out. We wanted to make sure that if someone made the trip here that they would not go home busted so we sealed the co-ords to each leg in the first leg with strict instructions to “only open if you cannot find the next leg” and “please put the sealed envelope back into the first leg when you are done”. You see leg 1 and leg 8 were both on the main land about 100 yards apart, and you would have to go within 10 feet of leg 1. We also had a question and answer for each leg so we knew that someone actually made an attempt to find each leg. When we read the logs in the final cache we learned that a few had gone from leg 1 to leg 8 without going on the water. After some more research we are pretty much convinced that it was human element that destroyed several legs of the cache and probably because we challenged a couple of the finds. It is unfortunate that this game is so much about “the numbers” for a few that this would take place. We will continue to visit this area on a regular basis and enjoy the history that comes with it, and maybe someday we will do something here again. Thanks to all who made the trip and enjoyed the experince, knowing that we brought you to an area you may never have visited was a great satisfaction t us.
