Geocache Description:


Update May 2021: This cache was created as a part of the NOVAGO Olympiad2020. Due to several episodes of muggling the cache had to be drastically adjusted. A much smaller camo container is placed well above the water level. 

Shooting has been included as an Olympic sport since the inception of the modern Olympiad in 1896. The founder of the modern Olympic movement, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, was himself an avid pistol shooter. A former French champion, de Coubertin supported the inclusion of four pistol and two high-power rifle events on the Olympic program. The current Olympic program consists of 15 Olympic events across rifle, pistol and shotgun.

Some might think shooting is not a sport, but being a discipline that requires not only skill and precision, shooting definitely deserves its spot in the Olympic Games. The control one needs to possess over the gun/rifle and one's own mind, ideally those two becoming one, is a recipe to success. It's also a part of this geocache.

A traditional hide nearby Four Mile Run - the cache is far enough from the water, so no need to get wet feet.
