Who would have thought? Back in December of 2004, we hid our
first geocache and were not really sure what geocaching was all
about. At that time, there were only about 35 caches in the Greater
Abilene area. This fun cache symbolizes how much geocaching has
grown in the Big Country and how much fun we have had "hanging out"
and geocaching in Abilene over the years. Let's just say that this
cache is not what you would expect to find out here. Have fun and
please be sure to close the "containers" to help keep the moisture
out.
This cache is part of my OTPB 2008 Cache placement run. Ever
since we placed our first cache,
Off the Beaten Path (GCM9T7) on December 18th, 2004, in this
location and have come back each year and added more caches.
This area is full of cactus and other sharpies as well as snakes
and animals. Be sure to wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes and long
pants as a minimum when hunting for these caches. Even if you
decide to drive near the caches instead of hike, these items will
help protect you. In addition, a retrieval tool or hiking staff
will help you get to, and/or retrieve, these caches. Bottom line...
BE CAREFUL OUT HERE!
