This cache has been archived.

Mapachi: This conflicts with a new multi cache I have placed and I have been wanting to move this cache closer to the actual Tipi.
This cache WILL re-appear, soon, in a different spot.

Geocache Description:

A medium sized, camoed Lock-n-Lock. Hidden just off one of the many trails around the UMA campus.

There is a Tipi near-by (No it's not spelled Tee Pee!) Can you find it?
A Tipi is a conical tent traditionally made of animal skins or birch bark and popularised by Native Americans of the Great Plains. Tipis are stereotypically associated with Native Americans in general but Native Americans from places other than the Great Plains used different types of dwellings. The term "wigwam" (a domed structure) is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to a tipi.

The tipi was durable, provided warmth and comfort in winter, was dry during heavy rains, and was cool in the heat of summer. Tipis could be disassembled and packed away quickly when a tribe decided to move and could be reconstructed quickly when the tribe settled in a new area. This portability was important to Plains Indians with their nomadic lifestyle.

Congratulations to 79olds for a FTF!
