Pumpkin Ice Cream Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Paleopal: Sadly, this cache is missing. The hiding spot in a hollow stump is degraded. I'm wondering if the last finder, with only one find, took it with her, not understanding how the game is played. Since the spot is no longer viable because of the large size and the way the cache was hidden, I've decided to archive the cache. So, the area is open for a new hide. Cache on!

Geocache Description:

So now that Halloween has come and gone, the pumpkin patch owners are standing there looking at their crops wondering what they are going to do with all those left over pumpkins.  The answer … make pumpkin ice cream of coarse, or pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pumpkin casserole, or anything else pumpkin.


I found this fun cache container and named it “Pumpkin Patch” but couldn’t find a dry, spider-free place to hide it where it wouldn’t be animuggled.  So, when Halloween came and went I had to figure out a new hide concept.  I think I have found a good spot.  Please use stealth when searching for and signing the log.  Perhaps take it back to your car to do the deed.  When I was I hiding this cache every car that went by had drivers that were very interested in my activity.  Please don’t do something that would endanger this cache.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates!  To find the cache go to the posted coordinates, in front of the sign that reads, “El Dorado County, Greenwood Community Center”, then walk about 100 feet west to find the cache.

I have a goal for 2014 of hiding caches on days when the month and date match.  I hid one cache on 1/1, two caches on 2/2, and three caches on 3/3.  This is one of my eleven November hides.  Its getting late in the year and I have kept my goal so far but it is definitely getting more difficult, especially with my crazy work schedule.  Let me just say, it’s more fun to create a cache page than a homework assignment or exam.
