Cache to Eagle: Lives Depending On Us Multi-Cache

The year: 1992
The mission: obtain the rank of Eagle Scout
The project: collect donations for animals who are waiting for their FURever home
Status: complete

Recently I have been collecting geocoins related to Scouting, and I wanted to create a cache where I did my Eagle Project. Special thanks to ForestnFrances for opening this location for me. I got my Eagle on November 1, 1992 while in Troop 553 of the Arapahoe District/Denver Area Council.

It took nearly 100 service hours and we were able to collect: 46 bags of food, 13 boxes of food, 16 boxes of treats, 43 cans of food, 1 bag of cat litter, 111 bath towels, 79 hand towels, 34 wash cloths, 29 blankets, and a few miscellaneous items like toys, combs, buckets and a dog bed. We put out fliers at every house in five neighborhoods stating that we would return the following week, and if they had any donations they could leave them on the porch with the flier and we would pick it up. It was a great success!

Now for the cache: The posted coordinates take you to a power pole near the parking lot. You will need to do a projection from this pole for your next step. Go 185 feet at a bearing of 51 degrees. If you did this correctly, you should be standing next to a statue of a child playing with two dogs and a cat. Once you locate this statue, you will need to do another projection to find the final. Your projection will be 340 feet from the black cat at a bearing of 13 degrees. Lucky, eh? This is where you will find the final, and sign the log. Please use stealth, I really like this camo/container. I launched two of my Scouting geocoin proxies from this cache. You can discover one of their codes inside the lid.

I must warn you, if you go inside, this cache could take hours to do, and you will most likely not leave alone.
