Let me make this perfectly clear- the cache is on private property and is not available to cachers until the snow melts which is at the end of April. This cache is not winter friendly, buried and iced in under snow.
DO NOT ENTER THE PROPERTY WHEN THE DRIVEWAY IS CHAINED OFF.
I WILL DELETE ANY SPOILERS(LOGS/PICTURES) THAT INDICATE WHERE THE CACHE IS LOCATED or of the CONTAINER. DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR LIGHTERS IN THE CONTAINER.
The North American Bear Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to educate humans around the world about bears. World reknown bear researcher, Lynn Rogers, Phd, spearheaded this project along with scores of volunteers. Most of the money for this center came from private donations. There are educational programs for all ages as well as live bear viewing. The plain exterior of the building gives no indication of the high quality of the displays, and informational kiosks using high tech equipment. Ted, the 800 pound plus bear is an awesome sight to see.

The building and land are owned by the NABC and run by a board of directors who are all volunteers. The cache location was selected by board members and permission was also granted by them.If someone thinks you are acting suspiciously tell them to have Donna P or Joe E explain what is going on. I am sure that as time goes on everybody will know about this. 9/29/08 Donna said for cachers to ignore the No Trespassing sign near by GZ.
