Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the coordinates listed above. You must decrypt the coordinates from the clues below to find the correct location.


This cache is a puzzle cache, whose coordinates will be obtained from solving the puzzle below. The puzzle is a silly poem about a futuristic cache, and 4 cachers’ attempt to get the cache. Good Luck!


One outlook wasn’t so brilliant for the Bogville cachers that day.
Confronted with such difficulty, Fred was all work, and no play.

Pulling in his gut, he let out a lusty yell.
Three times it rumbled, throughout the Bogville dell.

Two others, both named Bart, stepped into their places.
Pride was in their bearing, and smiles on their faces.

So then, responding to the yell, Stuart doffed his hat.
“Let go of the rope”, Fred yelled, as he grabbed his bat.

Leaning too far to the side, Fred fell, face first into the dirt.
One minute they had, to grab the cache, the Barts ripped off their shirts.

“Curse you cachers! the rope! the rope! let it go!”
Right away Fred swung the bat, the air shattered by the force of the blow.

“Curses!” Fred yelled again – the stupid rope – the last shout.
Three more tugs, but no joy in Bogville – the mighty cachers had struck out.


After solving the puzzle, I would be happy to confirm your coordinates.

I recommend parking in the parking area farthest back. Once you figure out the puzzle, and plot the coord on a map, this will probably make sense.

I also advise against bee-lining to the cache, as several areas in the vicinity are protected. Please do your best to stay on the trail. Finding the right trail that gets you closest to the cache is part of the fun. You should be able to get within 200ft of the cache while still on the trail. To find the trailhead, proceed southwest from the parking area, along the tree line. Follow the tree line until you see the old cemetery. The trailhead is just next to this cemetery. Good Luck! (The lower trail should lead you right to it!)

Puzzle Hints: Are at the beginning (or is it the end?) of the logs.

The hint below is for the location of the cache. Make sure you have this hint, as the reception can be very spotty. The cache itself is a small brown jar, with theme-like items, a log book, and a pencil. Items larger than 2" in diameter will not fit. Have fun!

Please take the time to put the lid back on correctly. Also, try and take the time to put the cache back exactly how you found it - wedged correctly, and able to withstand some moderate winds. Thanks!
