Geocache Description:




This cache is designed to challenge the geocacher’s map reading abilities. During your quest for the final cache point you will have used at least 2 gallons of gas, taken up 2 afternoons, and used up a bottle of skeeter juice. Hence the name, Sam’s Ball-Breaker!

There are 5 points total in this multi-cache. Points 1 and 2 are standard micro caches in 35mm film canisters.

You must utilize a map to find the location for point 3. Point 3 is a cache-less point in the middle of a field that is merely the starting location to find Point 4. When you search for Point 4 it must be at dusk or later. Keep in mind that the location for Point 4 closes at 10pm.

Once you have located Point 3, you must face 336’ magnetic and look for the trail head. The trail is marked with silver reflectors which will be very apparent with a flashlight. Follow the reflectors to Point 4. Point 4 will be marked with 3 reflectors. If you see 2 reflectors on a tree then you are getting close to Point 4. Be sure to bring mosquito repellent on this leg of the course. Point 4 is a standard 35mm film canister.

The final coordinates for Point 5 are in code, which you must figure out. The Final Point is an ammo can. Don’t forget to bring a notebook and skeeter juice! Also, it might be a good idea to print this cache page for future reference.

Good luck…and have fun.
