Christopher Pike: Unfortunately, this cache page has been archived due to the lack of a timely maintenance resolution, or no response to my previous note. If the owner would like to have it reinstated, please contact me through my profile or email address referencing the GC code and name of the cache within the next 30 days. Please note that un-archiving a cache page places it through the same review process as a newly proposed cache, using the cache placement guidelines and land manager policies currently in effect.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing more of your caches up and running in the future.

Geocache Description:

The difficulty and terrain for this cache will vary slightly depending upon when you make your search. The area can be covered in water, mud, itch weed, ticks, mosquitos and other annoying plants. The coordinates should take you close to a bunch of trees free of itch weed.

This cache is to celebrate my 5th anniversary of geocaching. On the 21st of June 2006 I found my first geocache. Five years and 9800 geocaches later, I’m still having fun.

My all-time favorites List:
  • Weirdest location and most interesting cache to reach: 1905 (GCHY6T) – This cache was located in an underground tunnel system. The only way to enter the tunnel was to squeeze through a single broken bar half submerged, similar to breaking out of prison cell. There were rows of bars with no other way in or out. I then had to travel ¼ of a mile underground in pitch black with no mobile phone coverage to come to a series of walls. Hidden within one of these walls down a small opening I found the cache.
