Dirty Cachin' (IN) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Macho Homemaker: This one has had a good run. Over 8 months without a find means it has probably run its course.
I'll let someone else have this area for a while.

Maybe I'll put something else here when I'm back here in a couple of months.

Geocache Description:

I come down to Crown Point frequently, visiting "The Lady's" family. I hail from Kent County, MI, where there are a lot more caches. It seems a little sparse around here, in comparison. I suppose I should do something about that...

Around Grand Rapids, Michigan, there are a large number of Puzzle/Mystery caches. I find great enjoyment in solving the puzzle and then finding the cache.

Around here in Crown Point, there are NO "?" caches! (at least within 10 miles, anyway)

It just happens that my in-laws live next to some undeveloped public land...

So, without further ado, the first (that I know of) Puzzle Cache within the limits of Crown Point.


Dirty Cachin' (IN)

Dirty Caching is defined as finding a cache without knowing its exact coordinates.

This cache is within 50' of its posted coordinates.

The only way to find it, is to go to the posted coordinates and start looking.

This isn't as difficult as it sounds. Depending on the area, and the size of the cache you are looking for, there are a finite number of places to hide a cache.

If your GPSr is a little different from mine, you may have to expand your search area beyond 50'. I did take 350 readings and averaged them for an accuracy better than 10', so you should end up in the right area to begin with.

6-21-08: In town for our 20th anniversary, checked on cache and saw that it's really a lot harder in the summer...difficulty and terrain have been adjusted accordingly.


Congratulations to:

"Mrs. johneblue" For the FTF!
