The Elves Ride an Appaloosa Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

The Leprechauns: Today I hiked many a mile to pick up all the containers for the "Four Corners" geocaches. It's been a great three years for these. No missing caches, no damage to the area, nothing but fun and good hiking.

I hope that with the park now opened up for new caches, that someone else will hide some for me to find. If nobody does, I scouted out some cool spots today. Raccoon Creek is such a beautiful park and there should be more geocaches here.

Thank you to all who visited, and wrote all the nice logs. That is why I hide caches.

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


This cache is one of our "Four Corners" series of geocaches, designed to introduce you to the trail system in each corner of Raccoon Creek State Park. It was set up for the Earth Day Cleanup Event Cache held on April 26th, 2003, with the cooperation of the park management.

You'll be hiking on the Appaloosa Trail in the Northwest corner of the park. Your journey will take you to one of the highest points in the park, but the elevation changes are gradual. The Appaloosa Trail is open for use by horses, bicycles and hikers, although the four-footed travelers make the trail a bit challenging for the cyclists in some parts. You can approach the cache from either end of the trail, or from the Appaloosa Spur Trail. Go to the Friends of Raccoon Creek website to see a trail map. When choosing your point of departure, be sure to observe all posted signs regarding vehicle access and parking. For example, you cannot drive to and park at a Group Camp area unless you are staying there. One legal parking location is the lot at the trailhead for the Appaloosa Spur Trail, on the east side of Route 168 about .25 miles north of Hanover Kendall Road. The cache is a painted ammo box.

New logging rule effective 12/10/05: Logs mentioning any commercial offsite game not approved by Groundspeak, Inc., are subject to deletion by the cache owner.
