THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. You must solve the
below puzzle to get the proper coordinates.
After finding the PRIME cache, MustangJoni and I decided that we
would place a high terrain cache in the general area.
We shove our canoe off from PRIME at 09:47am and start looking
for a good location. After paddling around for 22 minutes we land
our canoe on shore…well, close to shore, it was very muddy
and we had to walk thru muck for 13 feet just to get to dry land.
We decide to make this location our BASE from which to try to
locate a suitable location for the cache.
We head off and arrive at what looked like a good location at
10:36am. No, this location won’t work. Hey, but that big tree
over there looks promising. Even though the tree was very close, it
still took us 7 minutes to make it over to it. MJ noticed bees
swarming around the tree and we found a bee hive in a
hollow….well, shucks, this location won’t work,
although it would be a sin not to put a cache in such a good
location. Back to BASE we go to rehydrate and eat a quick
snack.
After a quick meal and Gatorade. I glance at my watch and notice
that it is 11:26am. We had better get going. The direction we chose
was even more muddy and thick with undergrowth than the previous
way we went. We find what looks like another decent location at
12:12pm, but we just can’t make it work with the containers
we brought along, so we take off once more. After and hour and two
minutes we find a great location. I quickly nixed it as I noticed a
den of water moccasins and grabbed MJ’s arm and slowly backed
out. Too bad, as again it would be a sin not to place a cache in
such a unique location. By this time I was tuckered out and decided
to call it a day. We can always come back and search some more. We
get back to BASE and canoe back to the boat ramp and arrive at
02:57pm.
MJ and I were covered with mud mixed with red streaks from the
geostripes we received bushwhacking. If someone had taken a pic of
us, I wonder what the hype would be if someone posted it to
facebook! Too bad we did not get to hide a cache as I wanted to dip
my new HHV2 coin into it to get some mileage.
