Dead Tree, Big Ditch Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

frog4peace: Oh man! I launched my first trackable called Frog in the Woods from this cache. AND I realized this was not the Ninnescah lol, nor even a river according to KsRenegade. Rofl Whatever... It is a beautiful vantage point to take in the scenery and became one of my favorite places to cache. Pretty sure the dead tree is long gone, but the big ditch is still there. Thanks for all the memorable logs on this one.

Peace

Geocache Description:

Located on the south end of the Canoe Launch. You're looking for a cammo taped kool-aid container. You can park at the north end of the Canoe Launch and walk or bike your way south along the beautiful trails or gravel path along the dike.

Canoe Launch

I recently discovered the Canoe Launch when my friend crossmage was visiting from Houston, TX. I wanted to give my city friend an experience of caching in an area with a variety of challenges and beautiful scenery, so to the Canoe Launch we went. I quickly fell in love with this place, and it was yet another example of a place I wouldn't have known about, nor would I have likely visited, were it not for geocaching. I wondered why it had taken me so long to cache here.

When I returned to the Canoe Launch to do some more caching and hide my first Canoe Launch hide , I noticed this dead tree near the edge of "The Big Ditch" and thought it would be a great place for a cache.

This is an easy find right along the southern trails. There is a beautiful view of this part of the Wichita-Valley Center Flood Control Project from this vantage point (see pics), so take the time to enjoy the scenery. Because it is located in the middle of an intersection of trails, and somewhat in the open, please use stealth when retrieving this one. And if caching with little ones, take care to watch for ATV's and dirtbikes.

Cache is starting out with the normal trade-a-ma-doodles and the FTF prize is a mini MAGlite. I'm also starting my first travel tag, Frog in the Woods, on it's way from this cache.

Other caches on the south end.
