Geocache Description:


The cache is at the posted coordinates.  This challenge will take you to the oldest caches in Clinton County! I always enjoy hunting down caches that have stood the test of time, and I'm reminded of how many great caches were placed by oldtimer1.....a true caching pioneer of our area. Thanks to all who've adopted his caches and kept them alive!

PGC Checker

To fufill this challenge and log this cache you must have found at least eight out of the ten oldest caches in Clinton County.  Past finds do count. If you own a cache on the list that also counts toward your eight.  If you have found an older Clinton Co. cache that has since been archived, you may count it toward your tally.  I have included the date I found each of the following caches.

GC29DA Troll Bridge (11/23/01) Found 08/08/14

GCA6E5 Sherman's Trail (11/10/02) Found 03/31/15

You may find the cache and sign the log at any time, but you may only log this cache as found after meeting the requirements. You may include the GC codes and the dates you found them in your log, or I'll verify them with the challenge checker. It's not required, you're welcome to write about any especially fun or memorable caches in your log.

Park at the listed waypoint and follow the path to GZ. Only a few feet of bushwhacking at the end. Hunting is allowed throughout this area, so wear blaze orange if seeking this one during hunting season. Most of all, have fun seeking out these classics of yesteryear!  If you enjoy this challenge I welcome you to check out GC6P2T1 and GC4DYR9, which are similar challenges for Scott and Rock Island counties.
