Standish or Ericcson? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

thirdofthree: Hi folks! With the recent snow melt I checked on the cache and it did not fair well this winter. The container was essentially disintegrated and had probably been muggled prior to that. I am archiving this cache, and will probably have another hide somewhere else soon. For those of you who tried to find it and couldn't, the cache had gone through several changes: First it was a pill bottle hidden in a 100 y.o elm tree, when that tree got cut down by the city (which was a crying shame!), I moved it to inside of a fake acorn, then when a new tree was planted, I put it in a fake mushroom that was hidden inside the watering bag the city left around the tree, then I got really devilish and hollowed out a small stick and attached it to the base of the new tree. Hope that satisfies all of your curious minds! Happy caching!

Geocache Description:

You'll need stealth as there are lots of muggles who may be watching you. I've had to change this cache from small to micro, and hide it better as it has been muggled twice. Subsequently, I increased the difficulty rating from 1 to 3, and will adjust up or down as I get feedback from those who find it. BYOP. Good luck! 


Located in Minneapolis' Standish-Ericcson neighborhood, one of the older neighborhoods in the city, with homes that are easily 100+ years old (and trees that are even older), the cache is a micro container with log but no pen, so please BYOP. I've had to change this from a small to micro and hide it better as it has been muggled twice. Subsequently, I've increased the difficulty rating from 1 to 3 and will adjust up or down based upon feedback from those who find it. Good luck!
