Geocache Description:


My 3 year old son Phillip and I belong to the Bell Chapel Church. The pastor, Jeff Proya during the summer has the kids bring items in to try to “Stump the Preacher”. So Phillip decided to make a geocache and bring it in. Of course the preacher didn’t know what it is and Phillip told him it was a cache. Of course I had to stand up and give a lecture to the church what geocaching is. Also announced that we were going to actually hide this cache and call it “Stump the Preacher”.

This cache isn’t as easy as the rest of Phillip’s toddler caches. This one is a little hike along Fernview Trail from the campsites. The way back Phillip wanted to be carried because of the trail going uphill most of the way. Not a big incline but enough for a toddler to get a good workout. Near the cache there is a little steep grade you go down and right back up. Phillip did this with no trouble. At the time of the hiding he was 3.5 years old.

This cache is one of Phillips Toddler caches. There aren’t enough caches here local that a family with toddlers can do. So me and Phillip (3 years old at the time of placing the cache) decided to place some here and there. Specifics are that the cache has to be 1.5 terrain or below and has to have tradable items in it (no micros).

GEOCACHING PURIST WARNING – Unfortunately, there some “geocaching Purist” that think everyone should cache the way they do and will leave comments thinking they are the geocaching police. Since Groundspeak owns geocaching.com, I will not tolerate any such post and will be deleted without warning. Please do not let this warning scare you. Except for a selected few, all geocachers are the best people I have ever meet. However there are a selected few that like to think they own this sport and have left comments on other caches to correct other people to cache the way they do. So to keep this cache a family oriented cache, I am issuing this warning.
