'Ben' There, Done That Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dan & Janet: It is indeed gone. This cache was planted to commemorate Explosis' 600th cache find and he was in fact the first to find and log it. Each waypoint was intended to be a spoof on one of Ben's great caches. (He had some pretty amazing ones!) The final location was originally in a park close to his home. (That too was kind of a tongue-in-cheek statement about one of his caches!) I'm not sure if very many people ever got the irony. Ben and just a couple others made comments about the similarity of each waypoint to his caches. Since this is the second time this summer it has been stolen, we've decided to pull the plug on it. Thanks to everyone that hunted this and especially to Explosis for giving us a reason to hide it. Happy Caching...

How is this cache different from an Explosis cache? Well, you won't have to grope the statue while college students look on. There is only ONE McMenamins' and only ONE bridge. And, unless you get really creative, you won't need to climb the tree or hang out over the waterfall!
