Be Prepared! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

SAVVY18: Well, I broke my ankle a couple of days ago and will not be able to get this one up and running for another 4-6 weeks at least. So I'm reluctantly archiving this one.

Hopefully I can re-use this idea somewhere else that is less conducive to muggles.

Geocache Description:

Be Prepared.

That's not only the Boy Scouts motto, it should be the motto of every Geocacher too.

Be Prepared.

I wish I was more prepared when I went to hide this cache. I thought it would be an easy trip in and out since there is a nice trail to follow most of the way. I guess I should have brought the bug spray or at least put it on before hand. The mosquitoes were were feasting on me. The deer flies decided to get in on the act too and dive bombed me for a bit as I hiked in. Shorts and sandals weren't the best choice of attire either. It was pretty warm out and 1 bottle of water just didn't do the trick. It was silly of me to not be prepared.

When going on the hunt, you should always be prepared too. Do you have a cache bag with your "tools" in it?(by "tools", I don't mean a wrench to take things apart). Is it fully stocked with the essentials? Are you prepared for anything when you go to make a find?

This cache will help you to decide if you really are prepared or not.

There is no reason to cross any private property, developed or not, to get to the cache.

The best parking is found at: N 42 22.254 W 88 15.507
