Spy Gear: Bulletproof Overcoat Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Blue Crow Expedition: I heard the container was cracked, but I got there I was surprised by how much damage there was. Someone really stomped on this, or smashed it with a heavy rock. Everything inside was wet. I will try to dry out the log book so I can read what everyone wrote in there.

This was a great hiding spot. A long time ago, someone dumped a bunch of broken concrete here, and then it was covered with dirt. I found a perfect cavity where I could put a large container. Unfortunately, people kept leaving the container so it was visible from the path, which led to constant problems. The terrain also changed drastically from year to year. This was a challenging area to hide a geocache. I'm glad it worked as well as it did.

Geocache Description:

This is a very traditional sort of hide in the Milwaukee River Greenway.

About the Container

You are looking for a colorful plastic thermos. There is room for trade items and travel bugs.

About the Location

You will need to walk to this cache on the trails that run parallel to the river. The nearest parking is at Riverside Park to the north or Caesar Park to the south.

The container is hidden about half way up the hill. The terrain isn't too difficult, but use a regular amount of caution. The hill will be slippery if the conditions are muddy or icy. Plants or freshly fallen leaves could hide loose stones or other things to trip over. It will not be a good cache to find if there is more than an inch of snow on the ground.

Passersby will be able to see you from the trail, so some stealth may be required. As always, should you be caught, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
