Elixir of Life Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Pax42: After seeing the pile of cache contents at GZ today, my frustration kicked up another notch. It's clear that the person that did this specifically targeted this cache from the website. I have no desire to give them another opportunity to mess with a hide here so I've decided to archive.

Geocache Description:


The Odessa Reservoir

I grew up just south of the Odessa reservoir and it provided our family with water for many years. We had a 1200 gallon cistern and every two weeks the water delivery truck would come by to fill it. The reservoir no longer provides water to the community but it is still a place for recreation and gathering. When I hid the cache there were only two fishermen out and it was a very peaceful fall day. You're looking for a well stocked ammo can hidden near the water. A few feet of bushwhacking will be necessary. Careful of thorns nearby and be warned, the road around the lake can be rough during the winter or very wet weather.

There are several roads that lead to the reservoir but only the entry at the west side has an open gate so I'm providing coordinates for that entry.

Thanks to the City of Odessa for approving the placement of this cache.

Good luck and happy caching.
