Geocache Description:

This simple cache seems to have it all.

Located in the Town of Dewitt this cache seems to have it all and then some.

A standpipe, cemetery, boy scouts, bus stop with shelter, landscaped garden with gravel walkway, electronic billboard, wild animals, trains, ice cream and a breakfast diner are all close by.

We have wanted to cache this site for a while, it’s time now that the bus stop and landscaping are complete. Why not? We pass by here twice a day five or six times a week.

WHAT’S NOT TO CACHE?

#1. Old Settlement Cemetery “Messina Springs” along the rise of land up out of the Oneida Basin.
#2. Maintained by Boy Scout Troop 1276.
#3. You can park at OCWA driveway, right under their new Stand Pipe.
#4. Lamar has just installed an electric bill board. Stop and listen to how loud these changing digital screens are. Maybe some day we will see Geocaching.com up in lights.
#5. New landscape garden with gravel walkway will lead you within a few feet of the cache.
#6. We saw one rabbit and 2 woodchucks, even deer tracks!
#7. A brand new bus shelter provides you with a bench to sit and log in your cache or just count blue colored cars.
#8. If you are here in the morning check out the smallest breakfast diner in the area to the east. Don’t be surprised if it’s standing room only.
#9. If later in the day head west for a meal,or a cone.

Please take a moment to visit our newest cache after our 500th find.

Sorry no bridge, well, maybe nearby
Sorry no caves, from which bats will fly
Sorry no rock wall to search or to climb
But listen for trains while you log this find!
