Locked, Stocked, and Buried Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Prime Reviewer: 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.

Geocache Description:


2003 Austin Cache Awards

Just like the title says, this is a locked metal box, that is stocked full of goodies, and is Buried in rocks. The only way into this cache is to use a key. The only way to get one of the keys is to find one in an Austin area geocache. The keys (LSB Key #1, LSB Key #2, and LSB Key #3) are unofficial travel bugs called LSB Travel Keys which will travel around Austin area geocaches. Watch this geocache to see where the LSB Travel Keys are currently located. By reading the cache logs and notes that are posted by previous key holders, you can see where the keys currently reside and plan to visit the right cache to obtain a key.

Each key has the exact coordinates of the actual locked metal box. Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to find any one of the LSB Travel Keys and visit the cache to exchange your goodies. The actual lockbox is located in the Barton Creek Greenbelt and it should take less than 20 minutes to get to it from the parking coordinates (dogs on leash are OK here).

What is your incentive to do this? Well, besides the thrill of the hunt, I have stocked the geocache with some nice items, and hopefully you will trade nicer items too! Also, you will see a really fantastic natural feature on your way to the cache! However, if there have been recent heavy rains you may not be able to get to the cache. The lockbox is 12" x 7" x 3.5" and wrapped in a plastic bag.



Please plan to find the key, get to the cache, and replace the key in a new cache in the same weekend if possible so that others will have a fair opportunity to get the key when you're finished. Once you have dropped off a key, please remember to post a note on this page as to the key's whereabouts and INCLUDE THE KEY # PLEASE.

The posted coordinates are for parking only and to help you plan your geocaching route! Do not attempt to find this cache without obtaining one of the LSB Travel Keys from another geocache first.

Include the LSB Key # in your logs please! Thanks
