Geocache Description:

16th in the Bearing Series (and first one that's a traditional cache). Which means you don't need to do any bearing "calculations" unless you want to.


Plazmo has a "____ No More" series. I couldn't help to add this rare "No More" item in.
Calkids and I were looking to hide a cache or two. We were walking through a wooded and untouched area. He was looking for good trees and I was looking at the topo map. I noticed a small "knoll" and punched in the coordinates we and headed off.
Ironically, I had been snowshoeing in the same area 364 days earlier when we heard a voice yell "Up HERE!". Up we went to find a guy from Petaluma who had just finished completing an igloo that he wanted to show off, and rightfully so.
This year we approached from a different angle, but the spot stood out to me lacking the igloo. But the view was still there and equally as good, granted with a bit more ice and snow this year.
The cache is NOT at the spot where the igloo was constructed. To find that spot you can go 225m bearing 161 from the cache.
