ABC mega-cache at Don Kennedy Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

B Navigator: This is truly a bittersweet moment. In 2012, I planted this cache as a boy scout to earn the Geocaching Merit Badge. Since not a lot of large caches exist, I chose to go big and make this one count. Throughout the years, I have maintained this cache once and a while while out on the Greenway. Though Geocaching was a terrific hobby, most of my friends and family were not very interested in it, and I often had to drag them along to get to caches. With very little support, I gradually stopped geocaching as I aged out from the Boy Scouts and started college. After two years in college, I have officially decided to archive all of my caches and disable my account. It is now the end of an era as I start a new chapter in life. However, I want to thank all finders and cachers who enjoyed Boone- you truly made it special. Hopefully, another cacher will follow and plant some great caches in Boone, NC.

Geocache Description:

This is the biggest cache in the High Country, and it has LOTS of swag and goodies. Conveniently located near Watauga high school, the Don Kennedy trails, Reynolds Greenway, and the tot lot/baseball fields, this great cache is an excellant family outing.

This huge cache is located off the grenway near the "Kennedy trails" sign and the 2nd bridge. Awsome views of the New River and Watauga high school from the top of the hill. Excellant biking and running. Parking is recommended at the tot lot along Hunting Hills Ln. Just run, bike, or walk to the cache! Other access points include Watauga high school, the ASU state farm parking, and Brookshire Park along US 421. Lots of goodies, but always replace watever you take with things of equal or grader value. You will bushwack 80 feet, but you can make it past that. I moved it a little after a 100-year flood. Note that part of my encrypted coordintes for the "Greenway Extension Bonus" can be solved by looking at the logbook (please see that cache page). Enjoy this Megacache! PLEASE CLOSE THE LID SNAPPED SHUT PLEASE CLOSE THE LID SNAPPED SHUT PLEASE CLOSE THE LID SNAPPED SHUT WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS CACHE BEHIND! THIS WILL ALLOW IT TO STAY HI & DRY.
