Pumper Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This is Sacramento's new fancy dancy Water Intake.

The pump building looks like a giant mosquito about ready to pump its wings and take off.

If you LIKED the jumping water fountain at Marine World, you will LOVE the playful fountain you will find here. If you bring kids, bring towels... They won't be able to resist running in the fountain. You will be tempted too.

Bring a picnic and spend some quality time with your family and loved ones.

Parking is easy. Always be alert to bicycles speeding by on bicycle trail.

This is a two stage cache with the coordinates for stage 2 in stage 1. Stage 2 is nearby.

Original cache contents include:
Dory Travel Bug
Basketball Ping Pong Ball
Soccer Ping Pong Ball
Happy Face Magnet
Windup GT car
Tiger
Soccer Maze
Opps! I forgot to include a pencil!

If you see trash in the area, please remove at least one piece and report it in your log. If there is no trash, please log, "Trash Status: Clean".

P.S. The giant mosquito is usually open to the public. Feel free to walk inside and around it with your family or friends. A very interesting, artful and relaxing place.
