Murphy's Hideout Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is located at a the gazebo surrounding the pond and sitting bench area in Baltic, South Dakota called 'Murphy's Pond'.
There used to be a cache located in this area, but it was muggled long ago, and with it being such a nice spot, it was long over due to have a cache planted here again.
My oldest daughter likes to refer to this place as 'Murphy's hideout'. Whomever Murphy is/was, we would like to think this character would agree.
Environment and location tips:
* Our bird friends (the accompanying swooping barn swallows) take annual refuge in the gazebo! Early summer is bird baby season. Leave your toupee's at home :-)
* The Baltic K-12 school to your south. Depending on the time of year and visit, use extreme stealth or just return when young, curious grab-oids are not in sight.
* This cache is now all-year-long and all-weather finding safe.
Enjoy!
NOTE: Some may find this more difficult than others. I increased the difficulty rating from 1.5 to 2.5. Since 2024, new difficulty is from 2.5 to 3.5. Please put the cache back -exactly- as you had found it placed!
