Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

You are looking for a waterproof matchstick container.   This isn't your average micro in the woods, which I try to avoid. This cache is easily spotted, but you might have to use your brain to retrieve it.
This cache is located in the beautiful Charles C. Deam Wilderness.  This wilderness area is 12,935 acres of forest, full of wildlife of all sorts.  The abundance of wildlife in the area is impressive: 50 species of mammals, 142 bird species, 36 reptilian, 28 amphibian species, 125 fish, and they're finding more species all the time.  The Deam also has almost 40 miles of trails, from which to observe the wildlife, hike, camp, fish, hunt, or even geocache!

Over the last few years quite a few geocaches have been placed in the area, some of which require a few hours hike to reach.  My preferred way to travel in the area is on foot with a 30lb pack on my back, but if you want you could also travel by horse on most of the trails.  When I'm out here, I am always sure to bring plenty of water.  Whether it be for myself, or for someone, or something else, water is essential for hiking in the wilderness.  I always bring a couple liters for myself and my dog, plus I carry a water filtration kit just in case.  There are plenty of streams and ponds scattered across the area, so if you have a way to filter out the impurities you'll be in great shape.  This cache is located near one of those small ponds in case you need some water. So even if you don't bring water, you should bring something to collect water in, just in case.

All right, how clever was this one? I only wish I had thought of it. I kept wondering why you wrote it up the way you did, and I got it as soon as I saw it. This cache truly presents the cacher with a dilemma... I spent a good ten minutes trying to decide whether to retrieve the cache before or after the "Not far enough" series. For me: before. It ended up being a substantial gamble, as I ran out of a necessary commodity as I passed this cache on the way back. Great idea. TFTC!

Excellent cache, had fun figuring out just how to get this one. I sometimes wish I had previously read the cache page however.

I'll try to hike out there one night this week and fix it. I think squirrels must have chewed through the plastic, I'll use steel this time. It sounds like it's still findable, just not as fun as intended.

Looks like someone didn't want to use their water on this one. The top strap was broken, and the bottom barley hanging on.....now also broken...sorry about that. Difficulty reduced reduced to 1. Great idea though. TFTC

Found today with the Beav. Hadn't read the description before we attempted this one, so we floated a few ideas out there before we finally came upon the solution. Thanks for a fun hide!

Enjoying Deam Wilderness on a shakedown weekend with a Crew headed for Philmont in June. After setting up camp, and having already collected the necessary water for dinner, clean-up and the return trip (courtesy a nearby stream), three of us went out to specifically find this cache. We were up for a challenge, and it didn't disappoint. Someday I'll reach the point where I'm publishing caches myself and I'll sure remember this one for inspiration.
