Special Cache for Runfrog Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MikeOtt: Looks like this got too easy to get to and someone has stolen the ammo can. Since the concept of this cache is no longer valid (the most horrible 100 feet of thorn infested terrain)it time to retire this cache rather than replace the container

Geocache Description:






This cache is a bright red 30 cal ammo can that is hanging from the largest tree around, so it should be very easy for Runfrog to find (no need to get Harthausen to help you with this one).

Just how easy is it?
1. Its only 0.18 miles from parking.
2. There is a nice official park trail (Whitely Farms trail) that passes within 120 feet of the cache.
3. The cache is visible from 20 feet away in almost any direction.
4. There are no stickers within 20 feet of the cache.


If it sounds too good to be true, just maybe there is a catch.

Many years ago a cacher by the name of Howie (who gave us the first Delaware GeoEvent) gave Runfrog the nickname of Stickerboy because he seemed to like to place caches in the stickers.


Well this one is for you Stickerboy! For those other cachers who may want to complain to me--just blame it on Runfrog since I am just giving him what he apparently likes.

The cache is in White Clay Creek Park. There is a $3 parking fee from March 1 to November 30. Better still support out state parks with a $27 annual pass.

UPDATE 10-26-2010. THIS CACHE SUDDENLY MUCH EASIER. Work on invasive plant control at the park has resulted in bulldozed paths to all the large trees to remove the invasive vines. Find the right way and its easy walk.
