Green & White... at night! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Allen Cachers: The Mrs and I took a beautiful fall hike here in Baker Woodlot today, and the color was awesome! We also stopped by to check on this cache and found that there was no sign of the ammo can at GZ or anywhere in the surrounding area. Since this cache has not had much action the last few years, we have decided to archive the cache and open up the area for others.

Thanks to everyone who came by and found this night cache. Go Green!

Geocache Description:

The above coordinates
do not take you to the final.

These will take you to an entrance to one of the
University Natural Areas on the campus of Michigan State University


This is a Night Time Only cache. Please do not try to find during the day.
This is also a themed cache, starting with all Green & White and MSU themed
items. Please try to limit trading to the theme of the cache.
There is an MSU themed FTF prize.


We have only ever attempted 2 night caches, and only completed one. The one night cache we found was the only one in the Lansing area, so we've wanted to place another one for some time.

We finally found what we think is a good location for a cache such as this. Being that it is located on the campus of MSU there is [staff] parking near the start of the cache that is not normally useable by the public during the day, posted as staff only from 7am - 6pm.

Again, this is a Night Only cache, and should not be attempted during the day as you will likely not be able to find it. When you arrive at the above coordinates go thru the gate and look for the first of several reflective Fire Tacks that will lead you to the cache. We tested the trail at night twice, and when you arrive at each Fire Tack along the trail you should be able to locate the next one.

Follow the trail of tacks for a total of about 0.6 miles to the cache. If you follow the tacks you should not have a problem following the trail. Sometimes there are trees across the trail and there may also be areas of light mud which have added to the terrain rating, so we are warning you ahead of time. You should notice a difference in the tacks when you are near the final... the cache is off the trail.

Good luck, and we hope you enjoy our first attempt at placing a night cache.

Congratulations to The Allen Cachers on being FTF!


Voted one of the Lansing Area's Top Caches for 2010 and 2011.

Many thanks to The Vidas for placing this cache and maintaining it from 2009 to 2012. We will do our best to keep this cache going. -Allen Cachers
