Oxbow Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

sfcchaz: I was here to take a look at the Oxbow Tortoise cache and decided to give this on a look as well.

It seems that the Columbus Water Works Department has put up a new fence and locked the gate at the other end too. Fresh "No Trespassing Signs" as well.

Seems too bad, they even enclosed a piece of art that is a big cat as well as an Eagle Scout Project.

This one had a good life. I went around the fence easily enough to retrieve the container, but don't want anyone else in an awkward position of explaining what they are doing.

Thanks to all those who have found it.

Geocache Description:


It was brought to my attention that there is a "No Trespassing" sign located at a chained path just off of the Chattahoochee Riverwalk Trail that goes towards the cache. This is near the parking area closest to the cache. When questioned about the sign, an Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center employee stated that it was meant in the past for vehicular traffic and that pedestrians were authorized to use the path. Great thanks to fackles for providing the help with this matter.

Oxbow Meadows is a nature discovery center located on 1,600 acres of wetland habitat at the southern end of the Columbus Riverwalk. Nestled in a bend of the Chattahoochee River, it is a place where nature can be itself. A self-guided trail walk takes you along the half-mile Trail of Measurements, which winds between a deep lake and a shallow pond. You can arrive at the cache anytime by bicycle (walking bike on trail) but if you come by car be warned that the gates are locked at 5:30 p.m.
