Warning

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

Set in honor of nipponcacher's son and the U.S. Navy's 233rd birthday, "Drake's Toybox II" replaces "Drake's Toybox" (GC10FWC), which was muggled in the late summer of 2008.

The cache is located in the Misawa Public Garden, a park nestled in a hillside next to the Buddhist temple in the Shinchou district of Misawa, Japan. There is a terrific jungle gym available for the kids. Bring a piece of string and some bread for the koi in the ponds.

The cache is relatively close to the path, so some stealthiness is required. Please make sure that you put the cache back exactly where you found it, and camo it back up to make sure it does not suffer the same fate as its namesake. Please watch where you step - don't beat down the ferns too badly. Initial contents include:

  • FTF Prize Package (certificate & 2008 Navy Ball non-trackable coin)
  • Nanocache & nanolog
  • Keychain digital game
  • Various other trinkets from Japanese vending machines
Enjoy!

Well, time two no go, but third times a charm, right? I donated about a pint of blood to the mosquitos looking around both sides of both paths, but the gps only have me 35 foot acuracy, and never got me closer then 30 feet! Still a nice place to let the kids play on the jungle gym though.
