The Point Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

onecrazycanadian: Hi,

This cache has been disabled for an extended period of time. Due to the lack of response toward the needed maintenance since our last contact, I am archiving the cache. If you do happen to complete the maintenance required and wish to activate the cache again just let me know and I will consider unarchiving it once the issue is resolved.

Thanks!

Geocache Description:

This cache is accessible by either boat or foot in the summertime, and snowmobile or snowshoes in the wintertime. I estimate the distance to the cache from the shoreline is about 1km, therefore the total hiking distance could be 2km or greater.

The cache is located at the end of a peninsula on Emma Lake that, honestly, is accessible by foot or by watercraft.

The cache container is an ammo box covered by pieces of wood and sticks nearby a stump. Bring a shovel in the winter. Due to surrounding trees, the accuracy at the time of placement was 8m.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR WINTER:

Measure ice thickness in several locations. Local conditions such as currents and water depths can affect ice thickness. Consult knowledgeable local individuals. White ice has air or snow within it and should be considered suspect for recreational use. The recommended minimum ice thickness for new clear hard ice is:

3" (7cm) or less STAY OFF
4" (10cm) ice fishing, walking, cross country skiing
5" (12cm) one snowmobile or ATV
8"-12" (20-30cm) one car or small pickup truck
12"-15" (30-38cm) one medium truck (pickup or van)
