Stratton Stash Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

3 Williams Kidz: This was one of the very first caches we ever placed, and we are thankful for the 140 cachers that found it. We placed it when the eldest of the 3 Williams Kidz (Lars) was 8 years old and a student at the nearby Stratton Elementary School. Fast forward those 7 years to today and not only has Lars graduated from Stratton, but twins Leik and Erikka have also graduated from Stratton, just a couple of weeks ago. That would be all 3 Williams Kidz! With one DNF logged and an email from a geo-friend of ours in the past week that this one might be missing, we checked on it today and not only were they right -- the container is gone -- time has taken its toll on GZ, and there is now significant natural growth reclaiming the area, and there is also a bunch of discarded trash, making this a spot where we do not want cachers to go to, for a cache with our name on it. Therefore, time to archive this one. Thanks again to all who looked for this one, and all of our caches.

Geocache Description:

Stratton Stash is a camo'd medicine bottle zip-tied to a tree along the Rock Island Trail. Unscrew the top to get inside. Replacement container placed September 14, 2013 after flooding washed away the previous container.

There is no parking along Constitution Avenue, and if you park in the alley that parallels Rock Island Trail, watch out for muggles who will peek at you from their windows!
Terrain is a 2 as you may need to do 20 or 25 feet of very minor bushwhacking to get to the cache.
It is named Stratton Stash as the youngest two of the 3 Williams Kidz (the twins) attend Stratton Elementary School which is 200 yards northwest of the cache. The eldest of the 3 Williams Kidz graduated from Stratton in 2013, and moved on to middle school
