Old Fannin Woods Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Prime Reviewer: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This multi is located in the O.W. Fannin Natural area.

Park hours are 5am to 10pm.  Parking is available as of now at N32o 38.478' W097o08.487'.   You will need to bring something to write with and something to write on to do this cache, unless your short-term memory is pretty good (mine is shot, I'd need the pen and paper).  Long pants and closed toe shoes are optional, but recommended.  The thorn count is not too bad, depending on your path into the cache areas.  Poison ivy might become a player during spring and summer.  Also, remember that this area used to be on a working farm, so watch out for old barbed-wire here and there (you don't need to cross any fences to do this cache!).

Three simple tasks...

The coordinates listed at the top of the page will take you to the first stage of this cache, which is in a micro container.  Please do not trade anything here.   PLEASE BE SURE TO REHIDE THE CONTAINER EXACTLY AS YOU FOUND IT!!!

In the micro container, you will find the coordinates for your next stop. and two simple questions to answer when you get there.  You will need these answers to decipher the coordinates for the final cache.

The final cache coordinates are:

Latitude:  N 32o   38. _ _ _

Longitude:  W097 08.4 _ 2

The answer to question 1 will get you the latitude. 

The answer to question 2 MINUS THE SKUNK AND RABBIT will get you the longitude.

One simple task left...  find it!

The final cache is well hidden, but when near it you may not be, so be very careful when approaching the cache site.  Please do not take a direct route to the cache (you will know what I mean when you get there).

The final cache container is a .50 cal ammo can loaded with:

  • a hotwheels car
  • a new pack of playing cards
  • a 1-plug to 3-plug wall outlet adapter
  • a pocket multi-tool with sheath
  • a Stanley flat-head screwdriver
  • an insulated lunch bag
  • a mini nerf basketball
  • and of course a McToy - Teddy Bedderhead (I didn't name it, McDonalds did)

Please trade evenly or trade up.  Wouldn't we all like to some day find a cache where everyone traded up and left $100.00 bills...  Enjoy the hunt!  I enjoyed putting it out there for you.

As always, try to hide the cache better than when you found it, especially this one.  I'd like it to last a while in it's present location.
