Critter Cache #3 Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

TrekkerDuo: We went to the cache to put in a dry log sheet. To our dismay, parts of the tree had been cut down, and the logs were strewn on the ground. It was very difficult to get to a place where we could retrieve the critter cache, given that one also has to go a few steps down the bank. The logs in the way were too heavy to move.

We took the cache away. We will check back in about two weeks and see whether more has been cut down, or if the logs have been moved away. If we can rehide the cache in the original spot, or in another spot at the tree, we will do so.

Geocache Description:

An easy walk along the Lancaster Junction Recreation Trail. Please keep in mind that the park closes at sunset.

The cache is close to the trail, only a step or two down the bank required. The spot is occupied by a domestic critter that moved across the trail from a field. Please do not pull the bison tube out. Just unscrew the cap.

04/05/2021 We checked on the cache after DNF's were posted. It is there, but our GPS and both our phones indicated that it was about thirty feet to the south. The cache has been there for nine years, and up until now, we and many others have not had a problem finding it with the posted coordinates, so we are reluctant to change them. For now we suggest that if nothing at Ground Zero resembles the hint, walk thirty feet north on the trail and look for something that fits the hint. The coordinates we got on this visit were N 40° 06.407 W 76° 24.959. It might be helpful if cachers say in their posts whether the posted coordinates seem correct, or how far off they were. That will help us know if we need to change the posted coordinates.
