Eureka! I Found it! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com!

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

Geocache Description:

This cache is placed with the permission of the Eureka Springs Parks Department and is one of a series of caches to show visitors some of the many natural springs located in and around the
city. This cache is in plain site but only contains a log - you will need to bring a pen.

This is the site of a healing spring that was well known to Native Americans and early pioneers and is the heart of Eureka Springs. The first crowds of health seekers encamped at this spot in 1879, drawn by the promise of near miraculous cures. The City of Eureka Springs was named on this site on July 4th, 1879. The first governing committee was elected here so this is truly the site of the original "Eureka" moment. Locate this cache and you can say "I found it!"

Please note - this cache is not placed in the maintained gardens around the springs, if the gardens are damaged by geocachers the Parks Department will ask to have the caches removed.

Congrats to Topgun5403 & Co-Pilot Marty for the FTF!

Update: I have increased the difficulty rating. The Cache is there, it's right in front of you.
