Geocache Description:


The Ninth Plague of Egypt - Darkness (חוֹשֶך): Ex. 10:21–29

"Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt—darkness that can be felt." So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days. No one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days.
— Exodus 10:21–23


This is the ninth out of ten caches placed in or around Wausau area. There are cache series in the area for the Seven Dwarves, the Packers, the Wizard of Oz - why not Plagues?

THIS IS A NIGHT CACHE
Or at least - it's recommended to do at night. That would be in keeping with the theme, anyway. We had some AWESOME ideas for what to do with this one. Let's just say the hurdles became insurmountable (for now). It's possible that this one could get archived in the future and replaced by something a little more entertaining. When that happens - you'll get to find it again! In the meantime, the cache is located at the posted coordinates, and is wrapped in reflective tape. It will actually be easier to find this one at night.

To locate the cache, wait until it's good and dark out, and drive to the posted coordinates and start looking around with a flashlight. Or go there in daytime, if you prefer. Up to you.

The cache container is a fairly large nut jar with plenty of room for swag.
