Geocache Description:


You'll understand when you get there. 

Nothing special in itself. Meant to get people to see lesser known areas and enjoy a "series". 

This one is all about knowing the SOURCE of the theme to this Power ^Up series. The nearby power plant is the "source". ALSO, there has been an addition of a Solar Farm (another cache series on those coming later) nearby. When originally placed 10 years ago there were 3 stacks now only one as they transition from pot-ash burning to natural gas. These old school power plants are going away, especially when more and more homes are built nearby (folks apparently don't like soot on their homes and cars). Some will get more out of this series than others. For some, just easy finds to increase the find count. But if you geek out about infrastructure and such, it'll be fun. 

++This is the closest I can get. I've tried closer but TECO ends up harrassing everyone too much. 


Part of a slow growing series being revamped (Previous: GC4V9DP Power ^Up - The Source ), originated by a friend who doesn't play the game anymore. Was fun and popular 10 years ago. The previous cache was here before adjacent warehouses and the sewage plant was just starting construction. 


This cache is simple.Updated 5/22/2025: Now camo painted box with the original small container inside. 

Parking is street side but becareful to pull fully off the street and watch traffic. It may be easier to use the driveway "apron" about 75' west. It's an industrial area so there is a bit of trash. I wish it was nicer, but focus was on power plant part of this theme. I have other geocaches for the nature lovers.  

*Not on private property, respect personal and/or private property*


Must sign actual log in the cache to count. If you cannot sign log, it's a DNF, If you aren't sure about container, log a DNF. Can always change to a find later. DO NOT REPLACE CACHE. If you do and log as a find, there is a high potential that log will be removed (and I will remove unauthorized container/replacement). If you want to support, please contact me first. Thank you.
