Geocache Description:


You are looking for a flat locking ID holder with room for the logbook and maybe a thin coin.  There will be a bit of light bushwacking, and the way to the prize can be soggy if it has rained lately.

 

Welcome to the dicarded remains of a 1998 TIMBERLAND 460 Forestry Skidder.  Equipped with a powerful diesel Cummings engine, 4 over-sized all-terrain tires, front dozer blade, and a grapple in the back, it could drag (skid) tons of felled trees at a time to a central work area, where the trees would then be loaded onto tractor-trailers and sent to the lumber yard for processing.

 

Originally build in Ontario, Canada and painted in their green, yellow and black paint, these behemoths were a staple of the logging industry.  I present you a once proud and powerful piece of the forest destroying industry, now just a 23 foot long, 9.5 foot wide, 10 foot tall, and 30,000 pound hulk of rusting metal and dry-rotting rubber.

 

 

There is no need for your feet to leave the ground and climb the machine to get to the cache.  It is located under a waterproof host about 5 feet high, that is part of the Timberland 460.  

 

PLEASE REPLACE CAREFULLY AND LOWER THE LID GENTLY!

 

Have fun, and CACHE ON!
