Geocache Description:


While out checking on a nearby cache hide of mine, decided to place a new cache along I-70 for those travelers heading east/west that need to take a short break. There used to be a cache hidden at this location once before but was archived for whatever reason.

Nothing too special about this spot. Placed along a well-maintained gravel road south side of Exit 298. IF you are from out of town (Junction City area), just take Exit 298/Chestnut Street/South East Street exit. To the north is all kinds of restaurant's, motels, gas stations, etc. To the south is the cache prize!!

Container that you should be finding dangling from a tree branch is ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BADLY BRUISED ADULT HUMAN'S THUMB. It also is BROWN/COPPER in color with Geocaching.com logo in white placed on it. Anything else found in the immediate area is NOT the proper cache container.

Just remember that Christmas song that has words like;

Over the guardrail;

And through the tall grass;

Down a little bit of a steep slope;

I go to find the cache.

Oh, wait a minute. That's not the words to a Christmas song!!! Oh well, just follow those hints and you should find the cache quickly enough - or will you?!?!?!?! Just be careful for there really is a steep slope to cache location that can become a little challenging, especially in inclement weather and with tall grass (thus primary reason for the "Skull & Crossbones" icon). Not called a TALL GRASS PRAIRIE for nothing. Raised the D/T ratings a little higher than probably need to be for safety purposes, so all you "D/T experts" hush up - you have been warned!!
