...have you ever heard of geocaching? #3 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Chuck Walla: Hello ItsJustJas,

The deadline set in my previous note has been reached. I see that you have not checked on your geocache and addressed the issue with it. Nor, alternatively, have you posted a note to your geocache page to tell me and others of your intention to address the issue with it.

No response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this geocache. Therefore, I am archiving it.

Please note that this geocache cannot be unarchived if you later address the issue with it. You will need to create a new geocache listing and submit it for review if you intend to keep a geocache at this location.

Geocache Description:


Im doing this cache series based on some of my experiences while geocaching. Ive had some pretty awesome experiences! And ive also had some that almost landed me in jail... I think .. Haha SO here's cache #3 in my series ID like to call

 

Have you ever heard of geocaching?

 

Back in 2015, my little family moved to Estes Park, Colorado. I got a job down at a little pizza place, the interior of the restaurant is OLD brick with THOUSANDS of signatures all over the walls.) When I wasn't working, we were Geocacheing! I experienced some of THE BEST geocaches. The hiking is SO breathetaking. 

 

One day, my friend and I were in search of a geocache, just walking distance from where we stayed named Samson. 

Samson ended up being a huge statue of a buffalo. We were searching and searching for a bison tube and had come up empty handed a few times already. So we are down looking low feeling up under the paws of the statue and suddenly I feel possibly... Is that somebody's drugs??? A bulky square trash bag material wrapped in tape is what I've got my hand on at this point. And I think, 

"Oh lord is this possibly a murder weapon??"

 

They say curiousity killed the cat. 

​​​​​Yes. It does. 

 

We unwrap this kind of scared to see what's inside. It's a t-shirt with a note wrapped in it. 

 

"Congratulations! You've won a contest hosted by ESPNEWS! Call this number etc etc, to claim your prize!" 

 

One phone call later and Malia and I are getting our picture taken for ESPNEWS and given certificates for free "big foot" shaped pizza, and free salt water taffy from a local shoppe! 

I guess big foot is a popular thing in that part of the world and we some how stumbled upon a contest we knew nothing about! 

 

So! With that being said! I've hidden my 3rd cache to my little series at a small church off the side of highway 9! I'm unsure as to why they no longer hold church service here anymore, but it's a cute little building. It's my idea of a church. I'm just not into the big, brand new, tvs hanging from the ceiling, flashy churches you see all over the place now days. I like the small, creaky, probably needs a paint job churches. 

 

You are looking for a square container about the size of your hand. I enjoy making my caches a bit tricky to locate and for that I do apologize! If the difficulty needs raised or if you need another hint don't be afraid to message me. Service through here is pretty rough so be prepared! And enjoy!(: 

Also! Bring your own pen! 

 

 

 

And if by some chance This cache stays up and going years after my time I hope my kids find comfort in remembering all of our memories we created together. Geocaching will forever and always be "our thing"
