Geocache Description:


Interactive Cache - WindPower

After hiding on a handful of caches, K2 and I decided that it was time for us to come up with our own signature hide, or technique!  LostBoys2007 may use a bison tube or 35mm film canister but the method is always unique and clever.  AR-Hick has his home made 'Evil' caches which are down right sneaky at times and then there is C4C (Cachin4Chiggers) who has all puzzles, (K1-sweet)(K2-YUCK!).

Our first cache was 'Spicey Old Man' GC293K6  and we received a lot of great emails about how cachers liked that type of hide.  Then we did the education caches, 'Where the Buffalo Roam' GC2A188,  'Log Cabin in the Woods'  GC2G05B , and 'Black Hawk Down' GC2B6QT  .  All were received well but not like our first cache.  So, we decided to start a series of caches called the Interactive Cache.  Not only are you the search engine but now you will interact with the cache container in order to get to the log!

Wind Power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to make electricity, windmills for mechanical power, wind pumps for pumping water or drainage, or sails to propel ships.

Humans have been using wind power for at least 5,500 years to propel sailboats and sailing ships.  Windmills have been used for irrigation pumping and for milling grain since the 7th century AD in what is now know as Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.

This cache container will be easy to find.  There is a small building close by, but the cache is not around the building or any of the equipment, so don't go there.  Once you find the container, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT APART!  You will NOT need any tools in order to retrieve this cache!  Everything you need you will have with you, I promise.  There ARE moving parts to the container, two of them will need to be removed in order for you to get the cache out!  PLEASE put them back on once the cache has been replaced.  The hardest part of signing the log is, once you have determined how to get the get to the log, it will be finding the log!  If you enjoy this type of cache, let us know by your logs or by voting it a favorite!

I have taken five sample readings to obtain the coords for this cache.  Most of the time I was within 10 - 20 feet of the cache.  This should not pose an issue, the cache container is easy to find, good luck getting the log!

As always, if this cache needs attention, please let us know by putting something in the online log or by email.
 

Happy Caching!
