** TICK WARNING ** It appears the ticks be thick again this year.
If you venture to this one, be aware that there are LOTS of the
darn things.
Just a quick note (NEW) The property AFAIK belongs to the City
of Oklahoma City. The reason they put up the DO NOT ENTER signs was
becasue of illegal dumping at the site. When I placed the cache
(way back when) it was an abandoned Soccer field and had a parking
lot. It is much easier to approach from 240. From the bottom of the
little hill, there were some briars just East of the base, the
cache WAS hidden there. I would love someone to check and see if it
is really still there, as I got a muggled a few years ago. (before
it disappeared). .. I Will give you an another bit of info for this
one becasue of the ticks. You can approach it from I-240. It is a
short trek from there, but you have to park off the highway, and
cross at least one Barbed wire fence. Until fall, undertake it at
your own risk.
When you approach this one park at the long abandoned soccer
field at N 35° 23.486' W 97° 21.990'. (Off of 74th street
to the South) On 2 Jun 02, I modified the difficulty and terrain.
(Increased both) read the reason for this in the log below.
On 23 Nov 01 I moved the cache and restocked it. I found the
reports of a trail leading to it were true. Now being the
environmental sort of a guy I am, I felt compelled to give you a
more scenic and challenging cache. Do not read the hint unless you
really need to, as it tends to be a spoiler. It is an eclectic mix
of items to help you keep from getting lost. You will find:
- Oklahoma Road maps
- Airport directory
- Two different compass
- Half baked Wilderness navigation book.
- A few small trinkets.
As always, this is a NO GOLF BALL CACHE! New information to help
you find your way. Do not try to go South down the field and then
East to the cache. Although you can do this, you will have to fight
through a bunch of brush. I will give you this bit of info. There
is a game trail that starts at N 35' 23.461 by W 97.21.919. Follow
it. There is a branch that you might not notice about 10 yards into
the woods. Look for a yellow oil bottle in a tree. Take the Right
Branch.
