Bamboozled Reincarnated...Again! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Yorky Lovers: All good things must come to an end. We have just gotten too busy to maintain our caches and are taking them down as we can get to them. We were in the area and pulled this cache today. Our other caches will be transferred or taken down shortly. Thanks to our friends for allowing us to use their property for so long.

Geocache Description:


7/19/07 UPDATE - AREA CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE, ACCESS PERMISSION HAS BEEN RENEWED AND THE CACHE HAS BEEN REACTIVATED! THIS CACHE HAS MORE LIVES THAN A CAT! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS CACHE! This cache is located on private property (permission received from owners) directly off US 1 in Grant, FL. Parking is allowed by a GEO sign at the NE corner of the pavement, near the cache location. Please do not leave the immediate cache vicinity but do watch your footing, as the area gets a bit wet and slippery at times. NOTE: By agreement with the owners, THE CACHE IS AVAILABLE 7 DAYS A WEEK BUT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY - NO NIGHT CACHING ALLOWED! You’re looking for a small sized (1.5” x 8.5”), well-hidden regular tube cache container, similar to the original BAMBOOZLED. GPS’s get poor reception in this area due to the canopy and power lines, so the posted coords will lead you to a GEO sign just off the NE corner of pavement, near which you are free to park. If you stand at the sign and face north, you will see a stand of bamboo (there may or may not be a path to it depending on the amount of growth). The cache container can be found in the bamboo. You do not need to leave the path to retrieve it and minor bushwacking may be required, but the container won’t be visible from the sign. The cache contains a log and some small trade items. Kindly replace the cache container exactly as found, and as always, Please don't leave any spoilers or clues in the logs. FTF prize is a Space Station pin. Thanks and Good Luck! PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR THE GHOST FROGS, the Guardians of the Bamboo, our official Geocache mascots. They survived the hurricanes and have set up bamboo condos in several areas. Their job is to eat all the local Carpenter ants (although they’re apparently not very good at it). NOTES: 7/4/04 - THE PREVIOUS CONTAINER WAS JUST TOO HARD TO KEEP MAINTAINING, BUT THE LOCATION WAS TOO GOOD TO LET GO, SO WE'VE CHANGED THE CONTAINER TYPE AND LOCATION SLIGHTLY. 9/11/04 – THE REPLACEMENT CONTAINER (A SMALL TREE FROG) WE THOUGHT WAS PERMANENTLY RELOCATED BY HURRICANE FRANCIS (IT WAS RECENTLY LOCATED AND RETURNED TO US) SO WE DECIDED TO SORT OF GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT, BUT BETTER ENGINEERED, NEAR THE ORIGINAL CACHE SITE. HOPEFULLY, NO ONE WILL FIND THIS VERSION JUST LAYING OUT IN THE OPEN! TO THOSE OF YOU WHO FOUND THE PREVIOUS CONTAINERS, THANK YOU, AND FEEL FREE TO LOG THE NEW CONTAINER. TO THOSE OF YOU WHO MISSED THE OLD CONTAINERS, SORRY, WE’RE TOLD THEY WERE FUN, HOPEFULLY THIS ONE WILL BE AS WELL. While your here, visit the Grant Historical House across the street and try your hand at finding Marini1's nifty little micro there.
