Geocache Description:

The coordinates listed above are not for the cache.

I would like to thank Navdog for letting me use the geogadget theme, his encouragement in placing this cache and for the wonderful picture he took while visiting the lake with Edward.


POISON LAKE

The Urban GeoGadgets Micro Series Adventure Continues.
really it's three small caches.


While doing research for his next geogadget Edward Lowe found a place where he felt at home. A hidden place of algae covered sloughs, lichen covered trees, and stagnant water, the Poison Lake, an abused forgotten landscape. Ducks, geese, fox, beaver, coyote, raccoon and small birds make the Poison Lake their refuge in the urban landscape. In the secret ohno laboratory Edward Lowe has produced the new and amazing geogadget #26. This special geogadget is the instrument you need to establish the location of the Poison Lake cache.

Edward Lowe has hidden geogadget #26 in a cache.

I have hidden a clue so you can find Edward Lowe’s geogadget #26.

Near the above coordinates there is a pump station building. Find the pump station sign and record the six digit number on the sign.

The first 3 digits = Y

The last 3 digits time 3 minus 5 = Z

Go to the coordinates above. There you will find an unexpected object, Object X.

Y feet from Object X on a magnetic bearing of Z degrees there is a cache with a clue. Use the clue to find Edward Lowe's geogadget #26.

Once you have retrieved the geogadget you will have to excogitate the coordinates to the Poison Lake cache. When you have started your journey to the Poison Lake there is only one way in and one way out.

Warning beavers are not the best loggers. They sometimes leave standing snags. I have not seen any standing snags in the area of the cache. Beavers are active in this area.

Don’t swim. Don’t eat the fish. Don’t drink the water.

Poison Lake don’t go in!

January 2, 2008 UPDATE: Due to the eco-disaster created by the transient’s camp I have moved the cache final location. All clues and gadgets are in place and reflect the new location.

Please take only one geogadget and if you take the last one shoot me an email. Be sure to save your geogadget. It will be used in future gadget caches.

Good luck.
