Geocache Description:


The March Triangle Madness (mTm) series released in March 2012 by Bubblegummers included 144 caches laid out in the high desert juniper forest on BLM land east of the Redmond airport and North Canal, north of the Powell Butte Highway, south of Highway 126 and west of Cavalry/McCaffery road. This property is managed in conjunction with the BIAK Training Center for the Oregon Army National Guard. They discussed the placement of the caches with BIAK personnel and had been given the green light on their placement. However, they asked them to advise cachers that on the weekends, particularly when there is nice weather, there may be uniformed muggles in the area doing training exercises.

In April 2023, Bubblegummers downsized this series creating 5 triangles (87 caches). Geo51 and TurtleLP adopted these triangles creating the Ancient Pyramid GeoArt Series. The caches within each triangle are 1/3 of a mile apart. All the containers are the same type and hides are similar.

Great Pyramid of Cholula

The Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as Tlachihualtepetl (Nahuatl for "made-by-hand mountain"), is a complex located in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. It is the largest archaeological site of a pyramid in the New World, as well as the largest pyramid by volume known to exist in the world today. The adobe brick pyramid stands 82 ft above the surrounding plain. Its width measures 984 by 1,033 ft in its final form. The pyramid is a temple that traditionally has been viewed as having been dedicated to the god Quetzalcoatl.

The Great Pyramid was an important religious and mythical center in prehispanic times. Over a period of a thousand years prior to the Spanish Conquest, consecutive construction phases gradually built up the bulk of the pyramid until it became the largest in Mexico by volume.
