GeoShepherd Tracks Series: Well Water You Know... Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TeamZebra: Cache may still be there. But since it's no longer where i left it and the area keeps getting flooded I'm going to archive this one. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

Geocache Description:

Located in a small park in the Springbrook business park.
You'll start on a paved walking trail. There are two ways to get to
the area you will leave that trail, one is the parking area close
to The Storyteller Cache. The other is the parking area where Alcoa
City cache is located. It's possible to make a loop and get all
three caches. Enjoy!

This is a revisit or rehide of sorts of GeoShepherd Tracks #1 - Water You Lookin' At? The area in which that cache was hidden was destroyed by high water and the cache disappeared. Rather than try to replace it and lose it again I decided to switch it up. It's now a larger container, a different type of hide and located in a different spot along the same trail. Due to the changes I decided to archive the original and list this as a new hide. (I've also dropped the numbers from the "Tracks" series and so the name of this one fits better now).

Welcome to the revisit of the GeoShepherd's first cache. Sasha, the GeoShepherd, has been my constant friend and companion for almost three years now. During that time, we've been going on lots of exploratory walks, but frequently forgot to bring my caching stuff along. During a cache run one day when I noticed alot of places where I had to leave her in the car, I decided to try to add some more fur-friendly caches to the area and introduce people to some of mine and Sasha's favorite places to walk and play. And so the Geo-Shepherd Tracks idea was born.

While exploring one of her favorite walking trails we noticed a side trail and decided to see where it went. It wandered quite a way back into a wooded area with a slow moving creek along one side. With so much commercial real estate surrounding us, it was neat to find such a secluded spot. We came back and hid a cache there.


Water is the theme of this one. You'll see water in several different forms along the trek to this cache.

Falling Water


Orange Water! What caused THAT?



And slowly flowing water... Which makes for a peaceful setting to find a geocache.



The container you seek is a 2 cup plastic twist top container covered in camo.
There is a pen inside and some small trade items.


I had a cache very close to this area but it was a bit to close to the water and disappeared (floated away most likely) so this one has been placed farther away from the water which means the terrain level has jumped a bit. Also note this area WILL be muddy if it has rained recently and there are several holes in the ground along the trail to the cache so watch your step and enjoy this very woodsy area in the middle of so much business and industry!

FTF goes to neubert500!!
