How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


This cache is not at the coords listed above, but is within 2 miles of that location (within the MapQuest map shown below). This is a 2-stage puzzle multicache. The initial coords are in the image below. When you see the coords, they will be absolutely unambiguous. Please note that the first physical stage is not magnetic and is NOT designed to be removed from its mounted position; just stand and stare at it.

Final cache is a large Odder-style plastic container. Permission from the property owner is secured; please don't block the gate. Terrain is a one-star walk until the final few feet; please watch your step as you approach the cache, especially if you hunt this cache at night. Maybe bring a life vest in case you fall in. Better yet, just don't fall in.

This probably isn't the cache you want to use to introduce a newbie to this kooky activity. You have been warned.


Online logs should avoid giving away any useful details regarding coordinates, locations or technical aspects of this puzzle cache, and should not allow anyone to skip any of the stages. Any logs with hints or clues, irrelevant data, extraneous information, or whiny rhetoric or logs that don't indicate that you scratched your head at least once while figuring this one out will be deleted. If you have in any way looked for, started to look for, or thought about looking for this cache without finding it you MUST log a DNF.

No hints or spoilers on the Corvallis Area Geocaching Forum, or other public forums. Feel free to say nasty things about Pablo Mac on those forums, just don't give away any hints.
