Obi's Night Drive Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Oberon_Kenobi: Went by the final location on Monday. There appears to be a new subdivision going in at the final location. Even if I wanted to set up the reflectors again I would have to place the final in a different location.

It is unfortunate that I must archive this cache. It was fun while it lasted.

Geocache Description:

This is a driving night cache, so it is easy.


This is not a puzzle cache. This is a night cache so it had to be a mystery cache. You need to go to the posted coordinates and follow the red reflectors. These red, 1" round reflectors were visible at twilight with high beams, so they should be very visible at night.

From the starting coordinates drive north. You'll see a red reflector within a few hundred feet. When you see a reflector, note which side of the road it is on. You will need to turn that direction at the next intersection when you can turn that direction. If you come to a road going the other direction, keep going straight. If you don't see a red reflector, keep going straight. If you come to a corner where you must turn then turn.

Between each turn and the next turn, I placed two reflectors, just in case one goes missing. However, there is only one reflector at each location. The reflectors may be anywhere from just after the turn to just before the next one. They are from 3 to 7 feet above the road level on the side of the road. When you get to the location with more than one reflector, you're almost to the cache. From these reflectors, go back 190 feet in the direction from which you came.

The cache is findable with a few inches of snow, but I wouldn't recommend looking with a foot of snow. Also, the cache is an ammo can with no reflectors, so that it isn't accidentally found. Only one vehicle passed while I was hiding the cache, and I was surprised that it was this busy. You'll still want to pull off the road as far as you can.

I noticed some other reflectors, even a few other orange ones. Only pay attention to the 1" red reflectors. You'll get used to what they look like.

Congratulations to luvhorses4 and oldones on being first-to-find.
