The "Milestone" Cache Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Paleoman52: This one has had a really good run since I placed it back in 2007. It's time to do some house cleaning and bid ado to this oldie but goodie. I want to free up some spots that have been locked up for a while with my caches so that others may use these places.

Important information

Geocache Description:

This is a fun and challenging Multicache designed to be a milestone cache. There are 3 legs to find with a little twist thrown in for fun.


This cache is the “Milestone” cache. It is designed to give a cacher a special cache to do that marks a particular milestone that is achieved in caching. It could be your 1st cache or your 10,000th cache. Inside of the final you will find the usual trade goods, and a certificate designed and approved by Paleoman himself, to take home and frame. You have to fill in the particular milestone you achieved on the certificate.

I strongly suggest wearing mud boots and long pants when pursuing this cache.

The journey starts out relatively easy in an urban setting and eventually ends up in some of the wildest, remotest areas you will ever see. To achieve a milestone it is common to have to work hard to get there, this cache is the same way. I didn’t make this easy because I want the cacher to work for this one.

Once you have found the next leg, follow the directions and head west toward the creek. Once there walk the deer path until you come to a little Bridge. The walk to the final is totally up to you, you can bushwhack your way there or follow old roads, paths and deer trails. Remember, the reward at the end is not the total reward, it is the journey you take to get there that makes it so memorable. Once you have made the discovery at the final check out the really cool rock nearby, it has lots of swirls in it. As always please be sure to put every part of this Multicache back exactly how you found it, or even better for the next finder. Enjoy!

Special Directions!Once you find the first set of coordinates at the posted cache location you can use this set to figure out the parking coordinates for the next Leg. To the North coordinates you found add 37 to the last two numbers. Now take the west coordinates and subtract 155 from the last three numbers. These are your parking coordinates. You can finish the rest of the cache from this parking location.

For the lucky first finder I have included a beautiful hand chipped arrowhead I made using the local Onondaga Flint

Conratulations to Frogize (with TazD) for her "Milestone" first to Find!

**I've added a clue to help you find the second leg.**
