This cache has been archived.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. 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:

This cache is located in an arboretum in Webster, our hometown. The cache is a 30 cal ammo can with room for small trade items.

Parking is available at N43° 14.506 W077° 23.538. The Gardner Girls grew up in a house that our Dad built that is located on this road a few miles east.

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 tree has white bark?
2. The sap of what tree is used to make syrup?
3. What side of a tree does moss grow on?
4. What bark burns when it is wet?

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 answers to the questions are shown under Hints/Spoiler Info
