Picnic Perfect Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

frog4peace: Hottopic96 was kind enough to check on this one for me tonight when they were out this way running for a new one and came up empty. Letting this one go since there is a lot of evidence of campers having some fun times at the lake. Thanks for the DNF rvliving and sorry your search was a bust on this one. Peace out!

Geocache Description:

Located on the west side of Lake Afton, you're looking for a decon-type container nestled in some rocks. Bring your own pen! FTF prize is your choice of key chain.


I've been looking for a pretty place to hide this container I got from the Wichita Geocaching Society's Summer Picnic this past summer and I found this spot while hanging out at the lake with my little German Shepherd puppy, Zeke. While I'm not a fan of small hides in rocks, this seemed to be the best place to tuck one away, as the tree to the north should block your search and retrieval from nearby muggles who frequent the lake. Please use extreme stealth if muggles are around. I've placed an "out of place" rectangular conglomerate rock, which I found down by the water, on top of the hide spot to make your search a bit easier.

Lake Afton Park occupies a 720-acre site south of Goddard, Kansas. The centerpiece of the park is a 258-acre lake and the park provides boating, water skiing, fishing, and swimming opportunities, a public shooting range, camping facilities, and shelter houses. You can learn more by visiting their website here.

This area of the park is known as Buffalo Campground (Limited Stay Area) as well as Cottonwood Grove and has beautiful spots all along the lake to camp or just have a nice little picnic. Just south of GZ and up a little incline is a beautiful spot to take in the view of Lake Afton and a great spot for photos. Although not required, I'd love to see some photos of you at this vantage point, so bring your camera and share them with us!

Original contents include: LED flashlight key chain, coil wrist wrap key chain, squishy caterpillar key chain and log sheet.
