The 228th Anniversary Buffalo Mountain Vista Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a cache placed on July 4 in honor of our country's 228th
birthday. It is located at the spot we feel most captures the
feeling of liberty - on a gorgeous mountaintop near a hanggliding
ramp.
This cache is hidden atop Buffalo Mountain.
To reach it, drive southwest of Talihina, Oklahoma on state highway
1/63 in Latimer County. Turn right at the entrance to the Choctaw
Nation Health Center. Immediately follow the road to the left and
turn onto Buffalo Mountain Road. You can follow this road all the
way to the top of the mountain. The road is very nice and no car
should have any problem making it there, so don't be daunted by
this.
What you may be daunted by, however, is the placement of the cache.
If you in any way doubt your physical prowess or are not somewhat
nimble and agile, I strongly urge you to read the encrypted
hints/spoilers below.
This is an absolutely gorgeous spot with the most fantastic view
you can imagine. The day we hid this, we saw an amazing blue lizard
and about 10 hanggliders drifting high above us. We could see for
miles and miles across the Kiamichi Valley and Potato Hills area.
Make sure to be wary of snakes. We saw none, but it's a rocky area.
The container is a medium-sized Rubbermaid tub painted camouflage.
