Austin's First Hide Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Keystone: This geocache came to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. See the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled this cache page.

Owner, if there is a good reason for a long delay in enabling this cache, do not contact me through email or the message center. Please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on. When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "enable listing" log. Use an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in four weeks or so to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that an explanation has been provided. If the problem persists, I will need to archive this cache page for lack of maintenance.

Geocache Description:


This was originally hidden by Andy and his son Austin of caching family Augies.  Sadly Andy passed away last year but his fellow cachers have adopted his caches and are helping to continue his geocaching legacy.  Please take a moment to remember he and his family as you enjoy hunting for a cache that they placed for all of us.

This geocache was important to my dad and I because after many geocache hunts together this was the first cache that I found before my dad. 

Below is the original geocache description by augies:

This is my 8 year old's first hide. It is a pretty easy one. Hope you enjoy.

Cache is in a rubbermaid type container with the typical trading goodies. This area is seldom used so you shouldn't have anyone bothering you. Keep an eye out for arrowheads in this part of Williams County. Enjoy!

Parking is on County Road Q-50, there is a little parking lot you can use.. Do not drive back to the cache area please.

The container is now a 6x6x2 plastic Lock & Lock painted green.  It's about a 1/4 mile walk from the parking lot and when we replaced the cache in late June the grasses and weeds were knee high the entire way so because of possible scratches and ticks you may wish to wear long pants.  Have a great time !

The coordinates for parking are      41° 40.301   84° 42.097
