MOST IMPORTANT - it is not possible to get this cache from the railroad tracks. What looks like an island on maps is actually water plants. You would have to swim many feet through thick vegetation. In addition, the tracks are fenced.
Now for the cache description:
I, Eeyore, have decided to add more challenges in this area for the well-rounded cacher. My life has been full of challenges, and I want yours to be the same.
Over time, I want to place 10 challenges for you, in increments of 10. Who knows, that may be too much of a challenge for me.
For 30, it's (visit link)
For 50, it's (visit link)
For 60, it's (visit link)
For 70, it's (visit link)
For 90, it's (visit link)
For 100, it's (visit link)
For 20, it's this cache. To qualify, you need to have found 20 caches with names of train parts, cars and personnel. You need to have 5 different names; duplicates are acceptable for the rest.
Some ideas: engine, box, caboose, whistle, bell, gandy dancer, passenger, and flat. Be creative; however, words must stand alone. For example, the word boxer does not qualify as box.
To verify your eligibility, create a list of caches with related names. Include GC codes and date found by you, either as a bookmark list or a text list in your found log. No need to wait for approval of your list.
This cache is at the posted coordinates and can be reached by paddling on Pattison Lake. If the public boat ramp is closed, it is best to wait until it re-opens. However, if it is critical for you to find this cache immediately, contact me for possible alternate entries.
It is ok to sign the log in advance if you happen to be nearby and will soon complete this challenge.
Have fun - I hope a train goes by while you are there.
Don't forget to display your Discover Pass in your vehicle.
