You all know
what NIMBY stands for, Right? Well, “White Tail Woods” was our
first cache find and it is practically in our back
yard. That
particular patch of woods has changed hands from one
developer to another over the 14 years we have been here and
has therefore been under continuous threat of development
with public hearings, sketch plans, and preliminary plats.
Ironically, after wetlands, sinking homes, bait and shoot,
and a general NIMBY attitude towards development, this
proposed new subdivision is back on the Planning Board agenda
with another Public Hearing last night (2/15/07).
We’ve seen a lot of development and changes around here, lots of
which has been great. We’re not really taking a position for or
against. But when it comes to our backyard we’d naturally like to
see things stay the way they are. There are some great patches of
woods around here with fantastic opportunities for caching. Our
NIMBY series is kind of intended to commemorate, or potentially
replace the “White Tail Woods” multi, and also take advantage of
some of these places while they are still around. (White Tail Woods
would pretty much be wiped out by this proposed
subdivison.
It's a fun
cache so you better get it while you still can.)
This series consists of three logable caches. But you will have to
find the first two caches plus one clue hide in order to find the
Final. So,you will probably want to do these in order starting with
this one. This first cache is kid friendly and suitable for trading
and travel bugs. All the others are micros.
NOTE: MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE
COORDINATE TO NIMBY-1. YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THIS FIND TO OBTAIN
PART OF THE COORDINATE TO THE FINAL.You will find the coordinate to NIMBY-1 in the
log book and also on the inside lid of the cache
container.
Parking is
available on nearby residential streets, etc. These caches will take some leg
work so expect to spend a few hours out there. They can all be done
without getting back into your car. There’s probably not much
advantage to trying to re-park to get closer.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MICKEMT AND
SKEETERBAIT 2 FOR THE FTF!
