AS OF 12/7/14, THE C3F HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS IS THE LIKELY HOME OF THE LIBERTY MANBEAR...CONTAINERS HAVE MYSTERIOUSLY GONE MISSING AND/OR HAVE BEEN DEVOURED SO THE NEW ONE IS NOW A MICRO...AT LEAST ONE CACHER ON HORSEBACK HAS NOT RETURNED FROM THE AREA AND BONES ARE SCATTERED EVERYWHERE...ENTER THE AREA AT YOUR OWN RISK...;
For additional caches in the G.O. Joe series, please visit Living in a Van Down By the River(GC4PDFR), Big Bucket(GC4QTQ7), A Trip to the Big City(GC4RC8A), and that pleasant little stroll in the woods called Home for the Holidays #1-14 plus Bonus.
NOTE: DUE TO A PERMISSION DELAY WITH THIS LOCATION, THIS IS A BONUS ADVENTURE AND IS NOT NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE LIBERTY ADVENTURE SERIES!!! The Bonus Adventures will contain many of the same elements of the main series which may include ticks, snakes, skunks, manbears, poison ivy, stickers, wet feet, chocolate chip cookies, and hidden graveyards. You will sometimes need to crawl, climb, wade, or swim. This will not be a pleasant little stroll in the woods. And, most of all, please remember that Liberty Reservoir is a very active hunting area during the winter months so please use all proper precautions.
The last we heard from G.O. Joe, he had discovered all the geocaches in the Morgan Run area and had moved his van, and his family, to greener pastures, or so we were told. Actually, he had wasted away all of their life's savings on geocaching equipment and had to sell the family van to buy some new tupperware. Their only mode of transportation these days was a beat-up old raft which they used to float down the river one day where they finally ended up lost in Liberty Reservoir. These are just some of the adventures they had...
If there was one thing that G.O. Joe's children missed about Morgan Run, it was whitewater rafting! They borrowed Joe's raft one day and drifted out to the middle of Liberty figuring that if they drifted around enough, they'd eventually find a stream or river or something that they could raft on. With the natural flow of Liberty Reservoir, you can guess where this led them! But, lacking horse-sense, this never occurred to them. As they neared the dam, the sounds of the water crashing below promised them that they were in for the ride of their life!!! Somehow, they managed to survive the drop relatively unscathed and washed up on the shore about a 1/4 mile downriver. From the looks of some of the bones and debris in the nearby rocks, they may have been the only living things to survive the plunge!!!
Of course, Joe's raft was completely trashed!!! In no great hurry to get back to Joe and Mrs. G.O. Joe to explain what they had done, they played around for a bit on the rocks and shared a jar of peanut butter for lunch. Having not hidden any caches since that pleasant little, low-terrain geotrail along their old river, they decided to rinse out the peanut butter jar, throw some toys in it and call it a cache. There certainly were a LOT of good spots for one! But, the size of some of the bones they found might scare away some of the cachers...those bones are big enough to come from a horse! So, they decided to make this a nice easy one much, much closer to the river. Besides, they knew how nasty Joe would get when he wandered around in the woods for hours, only to return with a big, fat dnf!!!
