erik88l-r: Dear Geocacher,
As there has been no response to my previous log, I'm archiving this cache 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:

GGA 2004 Cache Title Nominee


Fairly short 2-stage cache in a pretty good sized park. Parking is sometimes available less than 200 feet from first stage.


This is a pretty straightforward multi. If parking is open near the first stage, and you beeline from there to the final, it's about .35 miles roundtrip. However, make your decision of how to approach the final carefully.

First stage: The biggest darned bison container you've ever seen! Well, it's not a bison container, but it could be related. If it were related, it's about 8x-10x the size of a real one. It's also convienently camoflauged!

Final: 50cal ammocan, could be tough. You DO NOT need to endanger yourself to locate the cache, so don't think about it.

Terrain rated 3 for possible routes to final; otherwise, I'd give it a 1.5 or a 2. As always, watch out for poison plants in the warm months. Hints are pretty much spoilers. Have fun!

Note added 12/11/06: The county has made some minor modifications that now ease direct access to the stages, but I'm still leaving the terrain rating the same just in case. Also tweaked the final hint just a bit to reflect the passage of time.

04/15/07:Final found to be missing, so replaced original 30 cal can with 50 cal ammo can a short distance away. First stage also updated.
