Office Trek Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Groves_Trekkers: It appears that after 19 years, this cache has been plundered. I am archiving this cache at this time.

The location has changed significantly since we first placed the cache there. There was no makeshift camp, the Walmart didn't exist, and the area was generally safe aside from the ticks in the spring.

If we put up a new cache, it will be placed elsewhere, since this location does not seem appropriate any longer.

Thanks for all of the visits over the years!

Geocache Description:

This cache is located a short walk from an office park paved walking trail.

This is an ammo box cache painted silver with a Geocaching identification sticker on the side.

This is an office-themed cache, but feel free to leave things signifying what you really do at the office :)

Ticks have been very active around the cache during the summer months. Be sure to wear bug repellant during the warmer months and do a tick-check when you get home! The portion of the hike through the tall grass is where you will most likely pick-up deer ticks.

On the walk along the spillway from the dam, I noticed that poison ivy was starting to grow all through the grassy paths. Keep an eye out for it!

Just a note that the power lines in the area seem to add some additional sport to locating this cache. I'm thinking EM interference... Multiple approaches to the site are recommended.

The terrain can get a bit muddy after heavy rainfalls. Wear appropriate footwear in those situations.

Coordinates have been updated with the return of the cache to the wild in June 2003.

Note about the pictures associated with the cache. The picture that is labeled "this is not the cache site, but it is cool" just happens to be the original cache hiding place. It used to be a complete hollowed-out tree stump; unfortunately, someone destroyed it during a cache hunt and the cache had to be relocated.

Enjoy!
