This multicache requires a paper towel tube (or tube of similar inside diameter and length) for use as a spotting scope to locate the final coordinates.
- The rock at the posted coordinates has three horizontal surfaces. The middle surface has a series of mill grooves. Locate the most horizontal of the grooves and place your paper towel tube in the horizontal groove.
- Look through the tube in the direction of the pond, with your eye about six inches from the tube. The view you see through the tube is the approximate location of the final coordinates. You'll have to look around a bit.
- Once you are in the area identified in Step 2, look for the final coordinates recorded on a fixed object. The coordinates are not well hidden but will not be obvious to bystanders.
The destination cache is a small lock-n-lock covered in camo tape. Please don't pull the lid open by the flaps, I think they may break easily. Feel free to leave small items such as coins or travel bugs.
This cache has no theme but if you do want to leave something, leave something interesting that YOU would like to find in a cache. Too many geocaches out there are stuffed to the gills with Happy Meal toys.
PLEASE BE DISCREET! Mugglepunks roam the nearby woods.
Info about the rock:
The stone sculpture at your starting point is the seventh of eight scultures featured in the "Kettering Rocks!" International Stone Sculpting Exposition. This sculpture was created by Japanese artist, Keizo Ushio (hence the cache's name "Ushio's Portal"). His stone carving is recognized throughout the world for the mastery of the difficult technique in carving intertwining ribbons of stone and three-dimensional circles.
This cache was originally hidden by wildergeek. It was maintained by Saxmerz from 2005 until benji55545 adopted it in March 2008.
