Geocache Description:

Congratulations on finding #1000!

The Searching_Simpsons team found their first cache on 05/26/06 Old-time Bandstand GCVQ2M.



The parents of Mrs. SS dickandjane (in the picture) got them started back then and they haven't looked back. I had the pleasure of being with Mrs. SS when she found #1000 on 04/17/09.


Here you see the both of us holding the milestone, #1000 for her & #1700 for me.

Her milestone was named MusiCache BLM3 GC104NP and located in Bloomington. I had been promising her a cache to honor this feat ever since, but I am just now getting it placed. Guess it's always better late than never.

You are looking for an ammo can that has been sprayed in the honorary silver paint. It has been hidden in the woods located south of Springfield. Nearby are the "Lick" series caches and several others. Cache is located about 50'-75' off the trail by a normal geo hidey spot. Even though it is out of view of the trail, cache is still hidden rather well. With all this tree cover, my GPSr accuracy was at 10'.

The ammo can was originally placed with the typical swag as well as a few TB's.

Enjoy the hunt and make sure to congratulate Searching_Simpsons on their milestone!

BTW Searching_Simpsons, hope I can be there when you get find #2000!

PS I parked in front of the cemetery along hwy 4 at the southern end of the woods. It's just a short walk from there.

FTF Honors goes to (drumroll please!) Searching_Simpsons! Way To Go!
