Geocache Description:


Hello, and Welcome to Our Geocache! This geocache was placed to commemorate the Jordan Creek Elementary 6th Grade Class of 2026. The end of this 6th Grade Year got cut short by COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus), so we wanted to place a geocache to commemorate it! Before you get to finding this cache, here are some things you should know.

Please remember that this geocache is placed in a cemetery, so please be respectful at all times. This includes but is not limited to, staying on the trails when at all possible, not caching here at night, and walking at all times.

This Geocache is what is considered a Gadget Cache. A Gadget Cache is a geocache that you usually have to do something in order to obtain the log. These geocaches are meant to be fairly easy to find, however, it is finding the log that is meant to be a challenge. Please note, you have NOT found this geocache (and earned your smiley) until you have found (and signed) the log.

Also, please be sure to put this geocache back exactly as you found it! This will make the cache experience much better for the next person who comes along. To put the geocache back, hold the log (in its container) and drop it in the hole in the top of the cache. Then, just reverse the steps you did to solve it. If the log is still not staying in place then try redoing the last step needed to find the cache and then dropping the log back in the hole. Please Put the tube back in with the flatter side down!

To solve this geocache, you do not need to take apart, smash, or damage the cache in any way. This will not help you find the cache and will hurt the experience of others. If there is anything at all that is not in tip-top shape with this geocache, please be sure to message us in the geocaching app. 

Many thanks to Mr. David Sadler (Superintendent of Parks) for his permission and help through the making of this geocache! (This geocache was placed with the permission of The City Of West Des Moines Parks and Recreation!)

Thank you so much for visiting our geocache! If you are having trouble solving it, then take a look at the hint, and scroll through the online log (sometimes people include extra hints). If you still can't figure it out, try deciphering the ciphertext below. It will help you out further if you can solve it. The shift key is "Geocache".

If you still are having issues finding the log, please message us in the geocaching app. We much prefer helping to DNFs.

Thanks Again!
