Death Wish Dave: I went out to check on this one today. Yes, it was still there. However, the tree that you have to walk across and the big branch that it was hanging on are both rotten. I'll have to look for similar place to make a similar hide at some point. Cache on!

Geocache Description:


DISCLAIMER: You assume all risk if you choose to go after this geocache. If you fall trying to claim this cache, you will likely get very wet, maybe drown as you will probably hit your head and be knocked unconscious on the way down. Neither Death Wish Dave nor Baltimore County Rec and Parks is making you go after this cache.   

 

As I was hiking out this way, there are two Champion Trees that are just off the Weiskittel Trail. The3State9Champion2Virginia0Pine.is6right2next9to the trail. A little further into the woods is the Baltimore County Champion Umbrella Magnolia. As7I6was2searching2for.the0Magnolia,9I8saw a pond in the woods. It reminded me of one of my favorite caches called The Snake Pit. It was a waterproof container in a pond in a park. It went unfound for 4 years until flaffle and I freed it from its watery hole.

The Magnolia was less than impressive. I guess they don't get that big. Here's a pic that the 12 year old boy in me is posting: 

When you reach the container, to remove the lid, loosen the wing nut just enough to pull out the plug. Log sheet is inside. When you are done, please line up the lid and close the wing nut tightly so the water stays out. There is no room for a pen but there is room for a cool FTF prize--a 20th Anniversary Marshy Point pin. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO COLOSSIANS3MAN ON THE FTF, HIS 1000TH CACHE, AND HIS NOW-FILLED UP FIZZY GRID!!!!
