The Forgotten Ponds Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CTReviewer: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
CTReviewer

Geocache Description:

This is cache can be more difficult depending on where you start from and the conditions of the terrain.
The conditions truly depend on time of year and how much or how little rain there has been. If it has been rainy than I suggest boots. If it has been dry or is later in the summer than sneakers will be just fine.

This cache is found at the base of two ponds. The ponds will be completely dry from mid-August to mid-November. Right now (9/10/2009) they are dried up and you can walk where the water is for the majority of the year. It's pretty cool.

There are two main trails to get to this cache:
1. Ridgenoll Rd: Park in the semi-circle and take the trail-head West. (Probably the most convenient)
2. Park on Silliman Rd and take the trail head heading South East.

White Container.
Note Pad.

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[The container is white with a black top. It is found under sticks at the base of a tree in an area that divides the two ponds]
