Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COODINATES

YOU MUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS TO MAKE THE FIND

One of several water troughs included in the original design for Cherokee Park. My research on this site found several references to Bingham Trough reportedly named in honor of Elizabeth Bingham but nothing that I could confirm.

I have had a traditional cache here for a few years but recently it has been disappearing on a regular basis.  So, time to try something a little different.  This Letterbox is close but believe me direct line is not the way to go.  Follow the directions for the best approach

From parking at the trough circle around to your right and head up hill on the grass.

There will be a trail on your left – will know you are in the right place if you see a 4’x1.5’ stone block.

Continue down the trail approximately 65’ until you are standing with the rock outcrop to your front and a medium sized tree to your right. 

Look uphill at the wall standing to the left of the tree and spot the crack in the CORNER.

It is at the base of this crack you will find what you seek.

Or you can go 83 feet at 339 degrees to make the find.

This is a multi use trail so keep your eye out for and yield to mountain bike riders.  Please replace and conceal the container with rocks to hide from the casual observer.

You are looking for a cammo’ed lock n lock containing a stamp and a waterproof log. Permanent markers work best here - ball point and gel pens also work. Pencils not so much. The stamp is not a trade item – leave it be.  All caches have been averaged 100 times to within 10 feet. With the cover your results may vary so a generous hint is being provided – but I have told you where it is above.
