Snapper Quest Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

victorymike: I stopped by with the intent of performing cache maintenance but ended up removing my cache and all of its stages. Things are changing at ProQuest...in the form of a company wide move. They installed about 10 new "No Trespassing" signs last month. There is a dead deer carcass on the old ballfield. I figured that this cache has had a good run but, unfortunately, it was time to archive it. Many thanks to all who visited it.
Happy caching,
victorymike

Geocache Description:

This is a five stage multicache that is located on an abandoned stretch of property owned by the company I work for:

ProQuest

It is 40 acres bordering Honey Creek. Take Dexter/Ann Arbor Rd to W. Delhi Rd.


This location was recommended by my boss. Parking is critical to get to this cache, as private houses are nearby. Park at N 42 17.379, W 83 49.167.

There is a sign that states "UMI Fitzsimmons Field" (ProQuest used to be called Bell & Howell used to be called University Microfilms Incorporated or UMI). There is also a "No Trespassing" sign on the gate. You are authorized to enter to seek out this cache. You may print out this sheet and bring it with you as proof that you are invited.

This cache hunt includes a beautiful hike along Honey Creek.

The first stage is a 118 ml oil sample bottle painted black. Stages 2-4 are 35mm microfilm boxes (4"X4"X2"). The final stage is a modified 1.5 gallon pretzel jar.

October 5, 2004. I retrieved the cache camera today. Uploaded the pictures October 14th.
