Barely OCC (Oakland Community College) Traditional Geocache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

DougPeterson: So the road construction didn't destroy the cache. the new utility pole that took advantage of access from the road construction did. The area is still a mess and the fence is still down. I removed the broken container and will wait for the area to calm down before looking at replacing.

Geocache Description:

The Barely OCC cache is located on the campus of Oakland Community College. It should be a relatively easy cache. I have not found any hours listed on-line or posted on campus but it may be best to keep it to daylight and early evening hours. The nearest entrance is off Farmington Road.


You are expected to physically sign the log sheet in order to log your find on-line.

As you start walking on the gravel path, look in the trees on your right. (See the additional waypoint.) Do you see the sign in the woods? Do you think it is enforced anymore? After you make the find you could consider enjoying a walk to the far end of the path where there is a popular TB Hotel.


The difficulty and terrain on this was higher when I hid the cache. Then a workcrew came along and cleared the area. In the process the cache container was also punctured and had to be replaced. I worked with my young son on where to put his first cache so I didn't want to just give up on it. The original trade items were all his selections, some of which did not survive the workcrew. This cache may be more difficult in winter.


The cache is a camo painted rectangular Lock & Lock container with a log book and some trade items. There should be a pencil in the container but you may want to bring your own pencil or pen. Please be sure to restore the hiding place in a similar condition.


I had a tough time getting consistent coordinates when I first placed this. This cache is accessible with some snow on the ground. It may not be if there is a lot of snow.
