Bah Humbug (Creek) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

glenn95630: Visited the cache site this morning. I couldn't find the cache either. I'm fairly sure it is under the huge tree branch that fell. The good news is that I hid a new cache. I just need to submit it now.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located in Folsom near Humbug Creek. There is a (wild) bee hive in a tree in the cache vicinity. Please be careful. The cache is not at the bee hive tree.

This cache was placed Christmas time 2001. If Santa was a geocacher he would put this on his ‘Nice List’. This is a sister cache to Over the River and Through the Woods Cache which would be on his ‘Naughty List’.

A surprising amount of wildlife (turkeys and deer) are seen from the road near this cache in the late afternoon.

The cache is a tupperware-type container (6” x 10” x 3”) with a green top wrapped in a black trash bag. When hidden, the cache contained a tiger, six foot extension cord, children’s necklace/ring set, a two poncho pack, and a pack of AA batteries.

The coordinates were collected with my trusty yellow Etrex. Here is the raw data:
N38° 39.829 / W121° 09.377
N38° 39.831 / W121° 09.376
N38° 39.831 / W121° 09.373
N38° 39.831 / W121° 09.375
N38° 39.829 / W121° 09.375

If you get different coordinates, feel free to post them.

There is poison oak in the area but not at the cache location.
