This cache is one of the “Along the ArKansas”
Caches, that I have placed. Others are at Syracuse,
Dodge
City, and Wichita.
Parking to find this cache is best on the westside of SW 50 Ave,
but be carefully when it’s wet and muddy. There is quite abit
of activity from ATVs, so please try to keep the cache hiding place
a secret. There is a little poison ivy in the area, but there
doesn’t appear to be any where the cache is located. If you
stay on the trails, you shouldn't have any problem.
The contents of this cache are in a pink and yellow
semi-cammo-painted half-gallon
Coleman jug, so please limit the size of items that you leave.

Abit about the Arkansas
River…
At 1450 miles, the Arkansas is the longest
tributary in the Mississippi-Missouri system. From its source near
Leadville, Colorado, the river drops almost 10,000 feet in
elevation in 125 miles (from near Mt. Democrat, c. 14,145 ft., to
Pueblo, c. 4,600 ft.), carving out scenic beauty including the
Royal Gorge. It travels through Kansas, where it irrigates wheat
fields, then through Northeastern Oklahoma. There it is joined by
the Canadian, Cimarron, Neosho-Grand, and Verdigris Rivers. It then
crosses the state of Arkansas where it empties into the Mississippi
River 600 miles north of New Orleans.
In Kansas..
The Arkansas enters the state west of Syracuse where it passes just
south of town, then it goes southeast, south of the cities of
Garden City & Dodge City. From there it goes northeast to south
of Great Bend (where it makes the great bend..hmm) then southeast
to the southside of Hutchinson, through Wichita, and eventually
leaves the state by Arkansas City, where it goes into Kaw
reservoir, east of Ponca City and then on to Tulsa.
