LAST CALL: This, and all current Flossmoor geocaches in
Florida, will be archived on or after 2-June 2009.
This geocache is located relatively close to (barely) active
railroad tracks. Geocaching.com usually denies any geocaches
located within 150 feet of railroad tracks to avoid trespassing
issues. This cache is close to the tracks, but NOT accessible from
the tracks or located within its legal right-of-way. Please do NOT
walk along the tracks, as the railroad will consider this to be
trespassing.
This container has actually been camouflaged, prepped, and ready
to go for more than three years. It's merely been waiting for an
ideal location.
I still had a couple of these containers left over from a
multicache I created back in October 2003. It's military grade, but
it is not an ammobox. Really.
Think of it as a "weenie micro", give or take a few feet. This
one could hold a lot of film.
This placement blends very well with its surroundings... and its
surroundings blend well with it. However, there may be more than
one way to discover its location.
Initial contents include a logbook, pens, and trinkets. You
know... the usual stuff.
Coordinate drift was severe at the exact location of the
cache, even using a SiRF III device. Your best bet is to take your
readings in a clear area. When you get within 30 feet, look in the
direction of the arrow, and head that way until the growth lets you
go no further.
Terrain rating is a "2" due to the long walk. There is no
convenient parking at the cache site. Your best bet is to park
at the nearby mall ("nearby", he says...), cross the street,
and take the sidewalk to the wall. From there, the dive-in point
should become obvious.
It's a walk... but most of us need the exercise. I know I
do.
No bushwacking required (or recommended). If you find
yourself bushwacking, you are reaching beyond the scope of the
search environment.
