This cache consists of four stages. The first two stages you
will be looking for a small container, each giving the coordinates
of the next stage. The third stage is an easy to find ammo can. It
is filled with a logbook, pen, the final stage location and some
goodies to trade. The fourth is a virtual cache. I would have
hidden something here, except the only good place to hide something
would have required you to climb a barbed wire fence onto private
property. So to do number four, you don't even need to leave your
vehicle.
Because of the size of the first two containers and the number
of places that a small container can be placed, I'm giving this
cache site a four and a half star rating for difficulty. However,
nothing is actually hidden, all containers are in plain sight, that
is IF you are looking in the RIGHT spot from the RIGHT
place. I'm not giving any hints, that's the whole idea of this
cache. I hopefully made it tough to find.
However, I've decided to make this one an easy cache as far as
terrain is concerned. Just about anybody can cover the ground
on this one. For stages 1 and 3, you'll need to walk about 50
meters with a slight elevation change. Stage 2 is just a few
feet off a well maintained gravel road. Only rarely is a 4x4 needed
on this road. If you are driving a 2x4 and it turns out to be one
of those days. Don't worry, from pavement, the most you might have
to walk is about 250 meters of level muddy or icy ground. The final
stage is just off the frontage road heading back into Beaver, so
you don't have to leave your car and you car doesn't have to leave
the pavement.
In your write ups on this cache site, try and keep it as
difficult for the next Geocacher as it was for you. PLEASE don't
include any clues, spoilers or pictures showing the two small
containers or their locations. Let's keep my delete option for log
entries unused. Besides, don't you want the next person along to
swear and think unkind thoughts of me just as much as you probably
will.
However, any pictures of and around the ammo can would be great
and I would look forward to seeing them. In fact, on 2/16/03, I've
added a camera to the ammo can. Please feel free to take a picture
or two THANKS------------
