As stated, this geocache celebrates the caching career of webdogbert and will be their 10,000th find. Besides so many finds in such a short time, webdogbert owns 26 of the best hides in the southern Ohio and Indiana borderlands, boasting a combined 177 favorite points! To put it succinctly, they are legends of the game. We have named this cache 10,000 Steps because we think that is approximately how many the four of them will have to take to complete this cache.
This cache is a letterbox and requires geocachers to follow a set of written instructions rather than a GPS and use the provided stamp. The coordinates will take geocachers to a parking area from which the adventure begins.
Start your journey approximately 25 feet to the north of the parking coordinates. There runs a beautiful stream that will be the focus of the journey. Seekers will travel upstream until they run in to a distinct and beautiful feature from which further instructions will guide them to the secret location of the cache. A series of captioned photos will provide certainty to seekers that they have not traveled too far or not far enough to find the aforementioned feature. In times of high rain and snow melt, the stream can run quite high and fast so please exercise caution and common sense when deciding the right time to tackle this hide.
To the east you shall see,
the first sight of worth,
Up and over its' beauty,
you must move your girth.
Waterfall
500 more feet,
continuing east,
and on this smaller one,
your eyes shall feast.
Smaller Waterfall
Round the bend,
and the bluffs do rise,
you are very close now,
to your special surprise.
High Cliffs on Left
The finest example,
of one of these yet,
comes in to focus,
the closer you get.
Go up and over,
along the left side,
The first stout tree,
will serve as your guide.
For at it's base,
lies a rock you must flip
so the incredible final,
doesn't give you the slip.
From a broken forked sycamore,
along on your left,
the glorious final
you will surely heft.
