Geocache Description:

Tow Mater has moved on, but still a fun little hide!

**UPDATE 2/15/2020:  Tow Mater has officially moved on, but we will leave the cache in place as long as people enjoy finding it!  The cache is still a black lock-n-lock container.  The hardest part will be getting through the brush to find GZ.  Take a look at the log from today for a few tips.

**UPDATE 5/21/10: Due to second cache rusting, whole container has been replaced. You are now looking for a black Lock-n-Lock sort of container with GC sticker on top. Coordinates are still good.

**UPDATE 8/9/09: A giant tree fell right on the cache totally destroying it! We have replaced and re-hidden the cache in the same area. New coordinates are noted in log. New cache container is a small coffee canister with red lid - a few goodies inside as well as pen and log. You will NOT need to cross the "river" to find the new cache, but if you have time, take a minute to check out the remains of the huge tree (be warned that the terrain may be dangerous, especially after a rain). It was standing perfectly straight when the original cache was hidden! Amazing! Also, we noticed Tow Mater was MIA - any reported sightings would be appreciated!

ORIGINAL CACHE DESCRIPTION: Driving home from Dallas, we passed this friendly guy and decided he needed his own cache. Easy P&G, best after business hours. Please do NOT park by Mater during business hours. Cache is out of Tow Mater's territory, but make sure to stop for a pic with him before leaving! Great cache for the kids!!! Cache is a small, clear canister with a few random goodies inside PLUS two TB's for the FTF!!!
