This cache has been archived.

Calador: Unfortunately, tree farming equipment has moved into a section of Spalding Town Forest and has interrupted the ability to find all of the required information to complete this series. As a result, I am archiving this night cache. Thanks to all of those who participated in this adventure!

Reenactment of a Night in Spalding Town Forest





Some Geocachers have the coolest jobs. I was fortunate enough to get invited on one of the coolest Geocaching adventures that I had ever experienced! This is a reenactment of our adventure so that we could share it with the rest of the Geocaching community!

My fellow Geocaching companion is a hydrographer. They study underwater depth of bodies of water like reservoirs, lakes, streams and even the ocean floors for the purposes of safe navigation for shipping goods. Our focus on this particular mission was to measure the interior hydrography of Spalding Park Town Forest.

We started our journey in the late afternoon testing a few areas and caching along the way but by nightfall we noticed something that caused him some concern! Even though it was dark he was required to investigate the situation. So we walked along the waters edge to looking over the water level.

Maybe it was our imaginations or just the shadows in the dark but we both saw people or wildlife take off running as we headed down the trail. Thankfully they or it was on the other side so we didn’t feel we had anything to worry about. (Marked by the location of the cache.)

Please be respectful using your flashlights near any houses, keep the light on the trail!
The Hint is a spoiler, so don't use it, unless desperate.
