Geocache Description:

Wow, did you know that in this great state of Idaho, there are only two (2) Multi-Caches as of 3/22/2002. I am surprised. Well let me try to fix that

This is my first Multi-Cache. This is a four stage Multi-Cache. YOU MAY WANT TO START THIS EARLIER IN THE DAY. ALLOWING FOR HIKE AT THE END PART OF THE CACHE. This one may be a little more of a challenge than my other four Caches. For those of you still learning your GPS units, it will give you practice to manually enter Coordinates into your units. A CAUTION NOTE: The total distance for this Multi-Cache is approximately 11 miles one way. The use of a vehicle is recommended, but you can hike, run or ride your bike if you feel the need for that much exercise. WHERE you park for each stop can be obvious but that will be up to you. The end location will have a couple of parking options, then you WILL NEED to hike and climb. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DOGS OR YOUNG CHILDREN. SEE PHOTO FOR ELEVATION CLUE.

PLEASE USE CAUTION: I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE RATTLE SNAKES IN THIS AREA. PLEASE USE PROPER JUDGEMENT WHEN WALKING AND REACHING IN CERTAIN AREAS. RESPECT NATURE. DO NOT KILL THE SNAKES, WATCH FOR AND AVOID THEM PLEASE.

  • First Step: Print out the INSTRUCTIONS & WORKSHEET and bring it along with a pencil on the hunt.
  • Second Step: Proceed to the cords.
  • Third Step: Use the worksheet and the clues to get your next COORDINATES.
  • Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you locate the "Search 4 Gold" Cache.

The first three stops should be easy.

Because the final leg of this cache is a little more challenging, The final Cache?s contents are not your basic Cache items. It is filled with a variety of higher end goodies. The first few that make it there will have some Pretty Nice Goodies to choose from. I do ask that you be nice to others and only take one of the better items and then the smaller items if you are with a group.

Also included is a disposable camera. When you visit the Cache, take a photo of yourself and note the exposure number with the included camera log and in the log book. Once the camera is full, the last person can seal it within the included envelope and return it to me. I will then develop the film and post the photos here on the cache page for all to see.

Good Luck, and please let me know how you truly like or dislike this one. It is my first Multi-Cache. I do not know if I did it in the true Sport of the Game

NOT RECOMMENDED THAT THIS BE ATTEMPTED IN THE DARK.. YOU MAY WANT TO START THIS EARLIER IN THE DAY
