A More Congenial Spot Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TravelinMan63: Well, someone in the area obviously doesn't want a geocache here. GigglingIguana and I had just replaced the previously muggled container and only a week later it's been muggled again. Since we don't live in the area any longer (now in New Mexico) it's difficult for us to maintain. So, I'm going to archive this cache and free the area from someone else to try their hand here. Happy caching!

Geocache Description:

This cache is a small camoflauged bison tube. The location is near a small lake in the Camelot subdivision. The lake offers fishing and a host of resident ducks, turtles, and frogs. There is a short walking trail around the perimeter of the lake. Due to the container's size, the cache doesn't haven't a writing instrument and it can't support trackables.

This cache's name is derived from the lyrics of the title song of the 1960 musical "Camelot". Since the cache is located in the Camelot subdivision, the name seemed only proper!

Another very interesting feature of this location is the 100-year-old cemetery plot standing in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Rather than relocate the three Roth family graves from the early 1900's, the subdivision developer paved around them. The result is an eerie Halloween location available year-round in the middle of the street!

Parking is available on the street and there is a paved walkway to the lake itself. Since this is a residential area, some stealth is required to avoid detection from the nearby homes. As a result, this cache is available anytime but caching activity will look much more suspicious after dark.

Placed with permission from the Camelot subdivision committee.

Tip: As with all caches of this type, it is much easier to remove and replace the log by inserting it into the cap before screwing it back onto the bison tube body.

NOTE: PLEASE LOG YOUR DNF!  I know some geocachers are reluctant to log unsuccessful attempts so that they don't spoil their find ratio.  However, without DNF log entries the owners (like me) can't determine whether to raise the difficulty, describe the cache more explicitly, and/or add more hints. 

FTF honors go to princeton_peaker, a truly dedicated geocacher who overslept his alarm and was willing to be late to work just to log this cache! Congrats on your first FTF

FTNF (First to NOT find) honors go to both KacheKab and riDeKEulous, who searched in vain before I found out that my original coordinates were nearly 50 feet off. My apologies to both and I can only blame a cloudy day, I guess!
