Voodoo Chicken’s Story:
I was out exploring one day and stumbled on this location. I
found two very interesting spots and wanted to share them with the
community. I contemplated placing a cache to bring others to this
spot, but in the end I rejected the idea because I didn’t
have the resources to place the cache myself. Many months later I
sent a random email to Cachestacker and it went something like
this:
Hey, I know about this place….I thought it would be a
cool place for a multi-cache….I didn't want to climb it
myself….if you think it would be a cool cache, maybe we can
set something up together.
Cachestacker’s Story:
After placing Boondoggled! (GC1M2DG - Boondoggled!) and
seeing Voodoo Chicken’s bad ankle story, I was truly
surprised to see the e-mail arrive. I was instantly intrigued.
After hearing a little about it, I quickly decided it was a
must-do! So Syd0703 and I met with her and found this great
location, worked out some details, and helped manage to place it
without Voodoo Chicken having to risk another ankle.
The Cache:
The cache is a two stage multi-cache. The posted coordinates will
bring you to a location where you will face a physical obstacle. If
you decide to face your fears, you will be rewarded with the
coordinates to the second and final waypoint. The second waypoint,
and final location of the cache, is less than .10 miles from the
posted coordinates. The final location is an ammo can now a
matchstick container because the ammo can kept getting stolen, and
can be obtained with a nominal amount of bushwhacking.
Please note it is highly recommended that you use the appropriate
equipment to obtain the coordinates located at waypoint one.
Suggested list of equipment:
GPSr – unless you are really
that good, first aid kit, cell phone, rope, safety harness,
helmet, hiking boots -- with good traction, a flashlight if you
insist in doing this cache when dark, a good sense of humor, and
knowledge of the possibility that you may not get this cache on
your first attempt.
If you attempt this cache without the appropriate equipment you are
putting yourself at risk!!!
