Nearly ALL Destroyed Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Muffkin42 X 2: Hi all,
Checked this one and found the cache had gone AWOL.
This is the 2nd or third time the cache was flooded out,
so we decided to archive it.....

Geocache Description:

NOTE: WATCH HIWAY 150 TRAFFIC!! PARKING is across Hiway 150, and East of the cache. This cache is also IN hunting areas, so be watchful. (You may want to wear Hunter Orange during hunting seasons).

The cache is right off the road, & VERY near the hiway. It's a SHORT walk down a STEEP-DEEP ditch, WITH tall weeds, that hides LOTS of broken limbs, sticks, brush, etc.. There can be LOTS of Poison Ivy and sticky brush, in the Very typical Iowa Forest.

We DO NOT recommend this cache for Children and-or those in wheelchairs or strollers...

The cache is a small cammoed peanut butter container. It will not be available ALL the year around, as it IS in a flood plain and the cache will be removed IF it does flood.. (IF I can get to it before it floods)...

During the July 11, 2011 wind storm of 130+ MPH Straight Wind destroyed most ALL of the trees in Vinton and surrounding area.. Most of the local Forests look like several 10,000 lb. "Bombs" went off.. Vinton lost over 700 trees in town.. Where the cache is, you can see a LOT of the damage caused by the windstorm, outside of Vinton..

Total damage caused millions of dollars between Tama, Iowa and East of Vinton, IA.
