And five years later: It appears one key to durability is to offer a cache location for adoption. We did so with this one back in 2010 as noted below. The original hide may still be there, but the skull cap and crevice this cache was originally hid under and in gave way to erosion and upgrades around the fire plug. So, for a couple more years the new "hide" has lasted sitting out on a bare limb like a label for the tree it hung in. Some cachers seemed amazed that it stayed there. I was impressed myself when I checked on it today and decided to move it a bit north where there's a little more cover. Taken by this cache's longevity with such little maintenance, I came prepared to give it a little tlc with some special camo I discovered and plan to use on our other night caches. Enjoy the new tweaks!
Update March 2010: We are offering this cache/location and several others for adoption while we pare back a bit on our own maintenance load. Anyone adopting a Sagasu cache is free to demonstrate their own creative style and make any changes desired. Perhaps some new hides will be available in these spots for all.
THIS CACHE IS LOGGABLE A SECOND TIME ANY TIME YOU SEE A SHOOTING STAR AT THE CACHE LOCATION, OR ANY YEAR ON THE NIGHTS OF THE PERSEID METEOR SHOWER AUG. 10-22, PEAK NIGHT AUG. 11. ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE A CACHE IDEAL FOR A NIGHT FIND, FEW HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY THE SIGHTS OF THE NIGHT SKY AND NEARBY AIRPORT FROM THIS DARK NIGHT VIEWING SPOT, SO THE BONUS LOGGABLE TWICE, OR FOR PREVIOUS FINDERS A SECOND TIME, IS AVAILABLE TO ANYONE MAKING THE TRIP FOR TEN MINUTES ON THOSE NIGHTS AND E-MAILING THE OWNER.
Miata's Moonlit Mystery is a seed from Miata's Seed Cache placed on the CB Recreation Trail.
This cache would be a fun one to do at night. I planted this seed under a full moon and clear sky and recommend this for star gazers, satellite watchers, and others who enjoy the night sky.
It will be there for daytime searches as well, but the experience and the mystery will not be the same. It's not a difficult hide as there is little cover in the area. Searching by moonlight or flashlight would be just about as effective as a daytime hunt.
If you do go at night, take the time to breathe in some fresh country air and gaze up at the sky. With a little luck you might spot a shooting star, or catch an airplane taking off or landing a short distance away in the dark.
Though you will probably only see an occasional muggle nearby, there will be cars passing by on the road. PLEASE leave the cache camouflage as carefully positioned as you find it to help keep the discovery a mystery for others.
Congratulations to Curly Girls for the FTF on May 3, 2007!
Congratulations to jnlc2017 for their very first find here on August 24, 2025. Yes, we are still alive.
