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.
