THE COORDINATES PROVIDED ABOVE ARE NOT THE ACTUAL LOCATION OF THIS CACHE!!! The coordinates above are for the Mather Lodge area in Petit Jean State Park, which is one of at least two good starting points for hunting this cache. The actual coordinates for the cache are:
N 35 0A.BCA
W 92 5C.DEB
To determine the missing numbers in the coordinates, you must first find two other caches located within the park, the Cedar Falls cache (GCHQAZ) and Off the Beaten Path (GC8CD). Within each of these caches, you will find some of the missing numbers, on a label attached to the cache's lid. Be sure to bring pencil and paper to write down the numbers! OR take a photo (but please don't post the picture with your log or share it with anyone else). After you have located both of these caches, you will have all of the missing numbers needed for the correct coordinates.
If you decide to find all three caches in one trip, you will hike approximately 4 miles in the process. Please note that the park trails close at dusk, in accordance with state park regulations. Do NOT start your search if you cannot be off the trail by nightfall and do NOT search at night.
The cache is an ammo box, containing a logbook, pencil, and lots of trade items. Take your time, enjoy the scenery, and you will find it!
When you find this cache please take note how it is hidden and replace it back as you found it so those following you may experience the same challenge. Also, please make sure the cache is sitting upright when you rehide it. This will help to keep out moisture.
When logging your find on the website, the more you write in the cache log, the more the owner is repaid for their efforts to place the cache. If you have any recommendations or suggestions to improve this cache please send an email.
