Alaska Holds My 25th (and my 9th) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Macho Homemaker: I checked on this one today and it is AGAIN missing.

This is at least the fourth or fifth time it has gone missing. Add to that, the fact that the hide is showing considerable wear, if not damage, it is time for this one to go.

Thanks for all of you who have dared this cache.

Geocache Description:

This is in celebration of this being my 25th hide.

THIS ONE IS NOT FOR THE KIDS!!

All of my caches have been kid friendly for the most part. This is the first one that is not! You will see why once you get there. Cache is located in a small decon container 2-liter preform tube.

I have adopted this cache from Matt -- "sticks1983" -- because he is leaving the caching community for a while and cannot maintain it.

There are very few high-terrain caches in the area and I thought it would be a shame to lose this one.

If you have any comments, questions, or complaints about this cache, please direct them to me and I will do my best to take care of them.

As noted by a prior finder, the best way to the cache is from the West. Park in the cemetery and walk down Thornapple River Drive to the guardrail. There is a path from there to the cache that has (relatively) moderate slope. It is WAY better than trying to go down the hill from the East side.
