STINCHCOMB UPDATE
I visited the cache on April 24 02. The cache is there and in good shape. I am changing the hint as the area looks nothing like it did when I placed the cache. Approach this cache from the West side of the Canadian river. Come in from County line road off of the highway. Walk up the road about 500-700 feet from the gate. (not past the bend in the dirt road.) Walk East into woods. Look at the aerial photo at lostoutdoors.com to get an idea where you are going. FIND IT. ITS THERE!! Of the two Stinchcomb caches, this is the harder to find. MY dog can find this cache and he is DEAD! Come on someone, show me there is a cacher in Oklahoma that is still up to the challenge.
OKC Micro cache 2 ("Stinchcomb returns") is the second of a total of 10 mini caches that will be placed. It is larger than a 35 mm film can and is actually a 4x3x1.5 waterproof plastic box. They are small and all have clips that secure them to somthing to ensure that they do not float away or get scattered by animals.
Just for the record, this cache is 1478 feet bearing 69 degrees from the position of the forever lost "Picture This" cache (#205 at N 35 31.470 by W 097 40.519)
These micro caches will be well hidden and will not be as easy to find as a ammunition can, so be prepaired to spend some time looking for them.
Cache II has the following:
Colonial life First Aid kit
Sears pocket screwdriver
American Flag pin
Campaign button
70’s relic (phono cartridge)
Organ Donation key holder
Bell
Commonwealth Theatre coin (They don’t exist anymore)
2 "G" postage stamps
Two tickets to Turner falls
1941 Nickel
1972 Turkish 2 ½ Lira
Remember to bring somthing small to trade with. The whole of the inside of the box is about the size of a package of cigarettes.
Also, please remember to snap the lid back in place firmly and ensure that the clip is fastened to the anchor so it will not go missing at the first flood. These guys are staying put for the winter so please rehide them well.
STINCHCOMB WARNING:
I need to let everyone know that Stinchcomb is a place that when it rains, turns into a bog. The areas around the 4 lakes are generally mud and 6 foot cattails. You can get lost or stuck if you are not careful. It is a deceptive area and people do get lost there. Be sure you take a compass, and extra batteries for your GPS. If it is cold take a coat. Stinchomb is not a place you want to be lost in at dark. I also suggest a Cell phone.
