Geocache Description:

"Somewhere, Something Incredible is Waiting to be Known."
~ Carl Sagan


"Not All Who Wander Are Lost" is a series of caches that may be out of the way but should be worth the trip. The caches in the series require you to explore locations after the pavement ends. Many of the caches have unique containers, high rated terrain, and not your typical attributes.

The cache is located just off Hwy 71 / I-49.  From the stop light, travel East on Bear Hollow Road.  Parking is available on the dirt road / Grizzly Lane.

"AREA 71"

The cache is at a location over-looking a 125,000 sq ft building which has a noticeable amount of security. According to an article in the Joplin Globe the data center (STAR Complex) is built to withstand natural and man made disasters. The Colorado Springs Gazette wrote an article about a similar data center which cost $100 million to build and another $100 million in equipment.

Optional: In your log, please provide additional information, observations, or thoughts about the location.

You are looking for a small bison tube hanging in the tree on north side of dirt road. Stealth may be required.

Congrats to THE ConklinCachers with another FTF!
