Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE CAME UP MISSING. IT IS NOW A REGULAR SIZE PLASTIC AMMO CAN, BUT I'M LEAVING IT LISTED AS A LARGE. BE SURE IT IS WELL HIDDEN WHEN YOU LEAVE SO THAT IT DOESN'T GET MUGGLED AGAIN.


Another fun cache in Game Lands 109.

Please be sure to rehide the cache at least as well as you found it.  I don't want it muggled!!


This cache is hidden somewhere in Game Lands 109. You will be getting close to the Game Lands boundary, but it is well marked. THERE IS NO NEED TO ENTER PRIVATE PROPERTY TO FIND THIS CACHE!!!

  Be sure to wear orange and follow all Game Lands rules and regulations.  Avoid this cache during hunting season.

THE CONTAINER This is a big, plastic ammo can.  Don't poke too hard or you could punch a hole in it.  The container is probably somewhere between a regular and a large, so I'm calling it a large.

THE HIKE I'm not sure what the area is like in the summer, it wasn't a bad hike when I hid it. It appears that you may have some thorns and wet areas to deal with in the summer.

THE HIDE:  The hide is a classic geostack.  It is well covered, but should be obvious.  PLEASE MAINTAIN THE GEOSTACK WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED.

  • Throw a baseball with a velocity of 85.9 feet/second at a bearing of 297 degrees.
  • Go to where the ball lands.
  • Pick up the ball, step in the water and read the next instruction.
