This is the fifth in our HavaCache Series, but the first in the series that doesnt require some sort of watercraft to reach.
Ive been coming to Black Meadow Landing since 1982 ( I was 2). This cave and the window rock just beyond it toward the pumping station always caused a lot of excitement in our motorhome. It meant we had finally arrived after our long drive from Orange County. It also always brought on a bit of sadness as we passed it on our way home. Either way, it was always a landmark that my little sister and I looked forward to, though in all of our trips there, weve never once been brave enough to go inside that cave. It really makes me chuckle because my 5 year old daughter gets excited, just as I did every time she sees it.
We often refer to Lake Havasu (our happy place, our place of stress-free living) as vitamin H. So its only fitting that this cache is a camoflauge gummy vitamin bottle. It is childproof, so youll have to push the lid to open it. It is big enough for some small tradeables, we left one girl toy and one boy toy in it when we hid it. It does not have a writing utensil in it, so youll need to have your own.
As with any desert cache; whether you are in the middle of nowhere or in town, keep an eye out for the usual harmful suspects (snakes, scorpions, spiders, etc) when moving rocks or sticking your hands in bushes or holes. Please be respectful, as the best geocache hiding spots are sometimes the same places that our small desert dwelling friends call home. Your safety and the safety of wildlife is more important than finding a cache.
Happy Caching!
Congrats to SIXEASY for being the FTF!
