Ochoco Viewpoint Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

PMOGUY: After 14 years of geocaching I am done. Caching has become a game of numbers.... Last I checked the number of caches on the planet have exceeded 3 million. 3 million plus caches .... a vast majority of them placed solely for a smiley. When I began caching it was an adventure and caches had a payoff, a cool destination or journey to the cache and also a "smiley". Now most cachers waddle from their vehicles stamp or sign the log on power trails and are off to the next WTF cache... Walk? Bushwhack. rarely... Yes there are still some decent caches out there but GC admin is in it for the $$$ so they promote and allow caches that are nothing but geotrash littering the landscape clogging the search engines with their numbers. By the time I owe for my annual premium member dues all my caches will be archived. Laziness and greed have destroyed a once fun sport.

Geocache Description:

Great view of Prineville from the area of this cache.

The coordinates have been updated, October 22nd 2010

UPDATE: Cache is now smaller. Hidden in the rocks at the north end of the parking lot in a hole in the rocks. You will need to reach into the hole and FEEL to the right. The cache is tucked in and should not be seen when you look into the hole. See the spoiler photos. Please re-hide so it cannot be seen in the hole. WATCH for muggles. This cache has been replaced numerous times. Hopefully this hide will last a while.

Hope you have fun with this one!
