Geocache Description:

The terrain of Mackinac Island is varied. Once you head away from the shoreline, the elevation increases. Mostly smaller rolling terrain once you're on top. Transportation on the island is limited to walking, bicycling or horses. I have not placed any cache that would require you to scale any steep grade. If you think you need to climb or descend any steep grade, there's a better way to approach from a different road or trail.


DO NOT LOOK FOR THIS CACHE ON OR AFTER JULY 3, 2017.

This cache and some others that I own on Mackinac Island are going to be disabled on June 26th and archived sometime after July 5th.

On July 3rd I will be removing this cache and reusing the container to create a new cache. Normally I would just archive a cache and let the container remain for several weeks so anyone with old waypoints wouldn't look for a cache that has been removed. I can't do that with this cache as the existing container will be reused. If I run out of time or if the weather does not cooperate, I'll enable it and try again at a later date.

On June 26th I'm going to disable this cache as another warning that it will soon be archived.

Most caches are close to the trail or road, at most, a dozen or two steps off. There are a number of points of interest to stop and take in the sights. If you use a bicycle, please remember to park your bike off of the trail or road.

This cache is located on what I call the top of the island. There was a horse drawn taxi passing by as I was hiding this cache. They're not the cheapest but they make it easier to reach the top of the island. Since I typically have trouble deciding on what to name most of my caches, you now know where this name came from.

I have created a remote web page with general information for geocaching on Mackinac Island. Please visit this link for the latest info.

I read many of the logs that are posted on my caches, but sometimes I can't read all emails. If you find a problem with any of my caches, please post a "Needs Maintenance" log. Logs of that type are filtered into a special inbox that gets 100% read. Thank you.

For all of my caches placed within the Mackinac State Historical Parks managed areas, a permit has been filed and paid for each year.
