Christopher Pike: Unfortunately, this cache page has been archived due to the lack of a timely maintenance resolution, or no response to my previous note. If the owner would like to have it reinstated, please contact me through my profile or email address referencing the GC code and name of the cache within the next 30 days. Please note that un-archiving a cache page places it through the same review process as a newly proposed cache, using the cache placement guidelines and land manager policies currently in effect.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing more of your caches up and running in the future.

Geocache Description:

About the cache:

This cache is the finish line for the 2007 Eastern South Dakota International Travel Bug Race. The cache is located near The Outdoor Campus in Sioux Falls, South Dakota - USA.(See the attached waypoint for the enterance)


The location of the cache is a mystery. The coordinates to the cache are located on each of the Travel Bugs that are participating in the race. To find this cache you must drop off a travel bug that's participating in the race. As a bonus, the geocacher who drops off the first Travel Bug gets a ~First To Find~.

Once a travel bug has been dropped off, the travel bugs owner will be notified of the caches location so they can collect their Travel Bug. Any Travel Bug owners are not allowed to move any of the Travel Bugs that are in the race.

The cache container is an AMMO CAN! It's very winter accessible. You may need to walk a short distance through snow to reach the cache.
