This cache has been archived.

Chuck Walla: Greetings from your Community Volunteer Reviewer,

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, nor did you post a note to your cache page telling me and others of your intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you, if needed, if it has been less than 3 months since it was archived.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

Geocache Description:

Java

I Named this cache after my hedgehog named Java Chip Hedgwig III



I used to have a different cache at this location, but after it got muggled, we decided to try something new, and more challenging! The coords should put you at the entrance of a fairly short cave, about a hundred fifty feet in length. It is a cool cave in need of some CITO. It has some cool flowstone formations on the ceiling! That being said, the walls and the ceiling seem quite solid since there is abundant flowstone, and flowstone takes great amounts of time to form. Terrain and difficulty are so high because it is a cave, and it does get quite dark inside! We also spotted a couple bats, so if bats and dark and enclosed spaces intimidate you, it might not be the cache for you. Thus the rating. I plan to tune the rating once some finds are made on it...so first few finders, give me an idea if you feel it is rated properly or not. BRING GOOD SHOES AND FLASH LIGHTS!!!!!!! Spare flashlights are strongly recommended. This cache was named after my pet hedgehog JavaChip Hedgewig III. She is a really cute hedgehog, and really loves dark secluded places. She would have a blast in a cave such as this. (See background image for a shot of the hedgie)

To find the cache, you will need to:

1)Enter the cave
2) Walk straight back in the cave about 90 feet
3)Stop when the ceiling goes down and the floor goes up (My boyfriend is 6', he describes the location as the spot where he found if he wanted to continue, he would have to duck his head and crawl.
4)Cache should be above on your left.
5) You are looking for a creative container, that blends in really well, much as an animal in the wild does!

Bring swag that can fit in a pill container!
