Tough hide! Thankfully father time has taken it's toll making this easier than it would have been in it's hay day. GPSr said 46' off which isn't usually too bad but this area has a lot of spots to check. TFTC |

On a delicious fall afternoon. Took quite awhile to find, ended up about 50' SE of GZ. Camo is in poor shape, log is damp. Nice hide, however! |

Truth be told this is at least my third trip here. At least on this trip there is a decent parking lot. The log is dry and the hide is good. |

May 18, 2008 by Orange&Blue (879 found)
We usually don't have much success with caches that haven't been found in awhile, but decided to stop here anyway on our way home from Rosemount. Almost quit after Orange made a dramatic faceplant near GZ (my elbow probably isn't broken) but then ended up spotting the log book somewhere between pfalstad's coords and the posted. This thing has seen better days, but we could still admire the effort that went into the log. Bonus find: we were rewarded with a sampling of Morchella on the way back to the car. TFTC! |

Looked for a least a half hour. Had no luck. I will be back and see if pfalstad's coordinates help.I discovered this GREAT park in April of 2005 while doing the "Park in Danger" cache. I have been back many times for hiking and exploring with the dogs. |
August 25, 2007 by DeltaMikeAlpha (3680 found)
This was the first cache I stopped by this morning and searched for a while before giving up. Didn't want to stick around after I saw the temporary structure and felt I might be close to someone's "summer" residence. Came back later in the afternoon after I realized there were two sets of coordinates and found out that I need'nt have worried about the shelter. Found the cache somewhere in between the two sets of coordinates and really enjoyed the find. Not that's what I call bushwacking although I never seemed to stray more than 50 ft from tyhe path the entire time. TFTC! |
May 16, 2007 by The Sandbagger (1176 found)
It took a while but I made the find. The funny thing was while I was looking for the cache some guy, who probably lives up the hill came down and mowed the path. At this time I was far enough back in the woods so he didn't see me. Great cache. |

Success! I looked for this cache a few other times without luck. Today, with the sun shining bright I found the cache. The alternate coordinates posted by one of the other cachers helped. Very creative hide by the way! Thanks. |

1st find if the evening. Out with 442 Guy & 442 Gal. 2nd go at this one, determined to find it! We thought a Spoiler from a previous log would make it easier, but not until we found it did it make sense. Very creative hide! Even had an on-looker up on his deck watching. |

That was a very tough one, as they are doing a lot of logging in that area. Hard to walk, hard to look.
Great cache!! |
October 27, 2006 by cjasov (778 found)
Third times the charm. Didn't have pfalstad's new coordinates, so when I came across the cache still 20+ feet from where the GPS was pointing I was a bit surprised. This was a great hide. I'm thinking of doing something similar and so I now know what challenges this type of hide can provide a cache seeker. TFTC |
October 25, 2006 by pfalstad (4145 found)
I got to ground zero and within two minutes I was going to leave, because it was too dark and there were too many places to look, and I forgot a pencil.. I was wandering around aimlessly towards the trail without even looking at my GPS and I spotted a huge red flag, which turned out to be the cache.. And it had a pencil in it! What luck. Great container! TFTC. |
October 5, 2006 by cjasov (778 found)
Tried again to find this one, but no luck. Maybe too much leaf cover yet to get a proper reading; GPS was bouncing around quite a bit, lots of area to look, so maybe I just didn't look in the right spot. |
July 15, 2006 by HJBilge (462 found)
After reading the cache info thoroughly, and scanning through all of the logs, I thought I knew exactly what to look for. I found it quickly today, although it was a little ways off from where I had been doing most of my searching earlier. TFTC! |

It was definitely more challenging searching today than it was in the winter, but in both cases, I came up empty handed. |

That was a cool hide, leaves popping out and bugs sprouting like the leaves made the signal bounce pretty good. I was happy to score this one with FSU*Noles and down the trail we went. TNLNSL - TFTC |
May 19, 2006 by FSU*Noles (7848 found)
One of seven afternoon finds, caching first with jREST then later with Zoejam72 for some group-cachin' fun - this one's been on my watchlist forever, and playing hooky with jREST was the perfect excuse to come look for it. This one was tricky, we were bumbling around back there for a long time, with nothing to show for it but a few mosquitos bites and a close encounter with some nettles. But persistence paid off, as jREST had the mojo workin' today! Very nicely hidden cache, and worth the wait. TNLNSL, TFTC! |

I don't even want to get into why it took so long for us to find this one. Aceboy got some help from sg and we were on our way. DOH!! Why didn't we see this one! This day was certainly an eye-opener for us. Alas, we soon had to close them as we were feeling an approaching spring rainstorm. After re-re-re-reading the cache description it was one of those V8 slaps to the head and a wimpy whine for good measure. TFTC! |

Came here for the fourth time thinking I knew where it would be after reading some of the logs. Instead I was disappointed for the fourth time. I think I've checked every nook and cranny, especially the crannies... one of the nooks was occupied by a small furry critter! I think he/she was real so I didn't check any orifices.  |

Went out today to try again, and yes, it's still out there. Very nice hide, took a while to spot it, to the point that my crew actually grabbed it and went "naw, that isn't it" and kept looking ;) Luckily I double checked :)TFTC! |
October 10, 2005 by Celticwulf (649 found)
Was feeling good after finding "A Yellow Hydrant?" so ran over to try for this one...too bad I started later than I should have and didn't bring a flashlight. GPS said I was in the right place twice (two different areas about 20' apart) but just didn't have any luck.One thing of note, you may want to check on this one. Looks like the big storm we had a week ago took out a few of the trees in the area with lightning, so a lot of the area is covered in fallen trees/branches. I will plan on heading back to try for this one again (very nice area) but thought you may like to know. |

This was my day for sui generis caches. This one took a while because, as others have mentioned, the reception isn't very good. I got it by repeatedly going back out to the main trail, far enough down so I could get my speed up to 2 or 3 mph by the time I returned to the general vicinity, and *quicky* following the needle in. Got it on my 3rd try.As somebody posted, the container is showing great wear and is feeding a good many buglets. The inner container is missing an endcap, yet the log was dry and I had no problem signing it. Great concept, but probably due for an overhaul soon. Enjoyed it very much... thanks! |

Alas, our only DNF on our Eagan adventure. We weren't fully equipped (needed gloves, poker things, etc.), and looked for about 30 min, including cracking the hint. Anyway, thanks for the hunt, even if we didn't find it. |

Very clever container. Took awhile to locate due to the gpsr jumping around in the tree cover. I think maybe the coordinates are a little off. I finally found it about 50' from the area where my gpsr said I should be looking. My dad was out too and his gpsr agreed with mine. We both searched an area probably 50' in diameter and then as we were about to give up, I noticed something odd off in the distance a bit. The container was ant infested and seems to be deteriorating. I brushed all the ants off but I am sure they will get right back in there.

Tried this one last fall with no luck, and we were not looking forward to leaving empty handed todayafter a lengthy search. GPS bought us to the same spot this time, which was not that close to the cache, but we prevailed. The cache was covered with ants, but not the biting kind like the ones in the season finale of CSI, wiped them away and signed log. TFTC |

At long last. I've stopped by here at least 5 times in the last 6 months, and I've left empty handed each time. Turns out I was never looking anywhere near the correct spot. For some odd reason GPSr reception in the area is strangely erratic.Today I gave up the hunt again, prepared to go home and ask for help narrowing the focus of my search, but Mrs. RubberToes, who was on her first visit here, was reluctant to leave. So, we stood and surveyed the area for a bit, and then, at the same instant, we both saw something that merited further investigation. Moments later, we happily signed the log. Very nice hide.  |

I had a feeling I knew what I was looking for and I turned out to be right. Spotted it right away. I had thought about doing something similar with a hide too. Very well done! Had trouble getting the log book back in the container, it just wasn't cooperating with me tonight.

I come out to this cache convinced that I knew exactly what I was looking for. 30 minutes later I wasn't so sure. A little while later and I decided that I was done. As I was leaving I saw something that didn't quite look right. Minutes later I was signing the log book of a very well done cache. The cache was a little further east than I thought, but within reason. Oh, and by the way, my origninal guess was very close to correct! TFTC |

I was here with another experienced cacher. We both looked all over. Did not find it. I recommend long pants for this adventure. I was wearing shorts, and hoping these weeds were not poisen ivy. But then it started raining, so we had to get out of there. Unfortunately, we took a wrong turn on the trails in the woods, and got tangled up. We discovered we had walked around in a big loop, and ended up where we had started. Oops. We finally found the correct trail. We got out of there just before the really heavy rain started. |

Well, it feels good to scratch this one off the list. I've been to this site maybe 5 times. Each time searching the same 40 ft or so radius from where my bouncy GPS averaged the hide location to be. I got a hint from "the magician" and got confirmed what I had suspected the nature of the hide to be. One extra shading was provided as well. Armed with the certainty that I really was on the right track, I ventured forth AGAIN. This time - about 55 feet from my search center - I found success. The summer tree cover makes for getting a reliable fix pretty tough. I'll have to learn to keep moving outward. Little ants seem to like living in the cache spot. While logging myself in, I dropped part of the cache container and spent a few minutes crawling around trying to find it (ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I THOUGHT I WAS DONE SEARCHING HERE). All is safe and sound, logbook is dry. Thanks for the cache. |
