Orienteering Badge Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Sapience Trek: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. Caches archived for lack of maintenance or response cannot be unarchived.

Geocache Description:

There's a short way (steep) and a long way (gradual slope) to this cache. It's located within sight of orienteering marker #8 in Durand Eastman Park. The cache is small with no room for trade items.

Parking is available at N43° 13.278 W077° 35.084. There are ten caches in this series. The first nine caches each contain one of nine badges you’ll earn as you improve your outdoor skills. Once you have found them, you'll have the information you need to find the final cache and earn the Geocaching Merit Badge.

When you find this cache, note the letter and number assigned to that badge. You’ll need that information to decode the location of the final cache.

To earn the badge, answer the following questions. If you get stuck, you'll find the answers in the cache.

1. What do you call the marker that shows an orienteering "waypoint"?
2. What area parks have permanent orienteering courses?
3. What is a Canoe-O?

Click on the image below to see a game card showing the nine caching badges. You can print this page and attach each badge (sticker) on top of its picture to track your progress as you complete the series. It is also a convenient place to record the badges' secret letter and number to decode the location of the final cache.

The cache is small with no room for trade items. A small travel bug would be OK.

For the first to find, the Pathfinder Travel Bug is waiting to show you the way.
