Welcome to a new series of caches
that has to be credited, in part, to QuartzCachers and his
“hanging series” in Greater Jessieville (Arkansas)
Heights.
This ‘trail’ will
continue down what is commonly known as the State Line Road due to
the fact it travels directly on the state line dividing Louisiana
and Arkansas. The name of the series is the
“L.A. or LA?” series since the caches will lie either
all the way in Arkansas (Lower Arkansas or L.A.) or all the way in
Louisiana (LA) since the actual line is the middle of the
road. The hint to you as what side of the road
will be included in the title based on where the cacher is
from. If there was one for me it would be
“L.A. or LA? – arkfiremedic”.
Well you would then know the cache would be located on the north
side or the road (Arkansas side).
This particular portion of the road
lies all the way in Louisiana and therefore will honor those
cachers I have met on the trail that are not from Louisiana or
Arkansas. There will be no particular side of
the road based on where they are from. Cachers
from states including Washington, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas,
Oklahoma, Missouri, and Tennessee will be
included. These are all cachers I have met at an
event or on the trail. It only seemed logical
than to skip this section of road because it was all the way in
Louisiana that I could pay tribute to other cachers I have met as
well from other states. Since this is
‘extra’ it will include “XTRA” in the
title. Hope you enjoy the extra
smileys.
The caches will NOT be hard to
find. The greatest difficulty will probably be
at most a two star rated terrain and a two star rated
difficulty. The majority will be “baby
soda” bottles (baby cokes, performs, etc. or whatever you
know them by). This will be about gathering
smileys and paying tribute to some of the finest cachers both
Arkansas and Louisiana have to offer.
The trail will begin by paying
tribute to those cachers who I have met and/or cached
with. To make it fun and entertaining, please
tell a little story (preferably a FUNNY story) about the cacher the
cache is named after. This is all about the
smileys and the fun of geocaching. When we can
combine the two, it makes it oh so much better.
Many thanks to TinmanJones for
assisting me with placing this series and painting the containers,
and 2ter for helping me with the logs and baby cokes!
Please be mindful of hunters in the
fall and other creepy, crawly things the rest of the
year. Also beware of any poisonous plants that
may be near the cache locations.
Please let me know if a cache needs
repair or maintenance and I will address it A.S.A.P.
tantillos.com
is the next caching group on the trail and they are from the great
state of Texas. Mrs. Tantillos.com is the
daughter of allenearl58 for those who may not know
this. They are fast approaching 5000 finds and
have given back by placing 27 hides. It is great
to know you both. Thank you for what you do for
our sport.
