16 Mile: Pump It Up! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache-tech: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache.
When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link (Mine) across the top and then click on this cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Cache-tech

Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates are NOT for the cache, but for the parking area. In order to find this cache, you must first find "16 Mile: The Valley Below" and "16 Mile: Back to Your Roots", where you will receive the true coordinates for this cache.

This is Stage #3 and the final stage of a mini series called “16 Mile” located down in 16 Mile Creek. All three caches are of small size and contain the regular assortment of small goodies. I just found my 50th cache and thought it’s time to set a few of my own. I welcome any comments and or suggestions.

Parking for all three caches can be found at N43 29.102 W079 46.433. Take caution not to block the driveways. After parking head East down to the bottom of the valley. The trail head starts on the old bridge. You can get to the first two caches by following the river but I recommend following the ATV/Snow mobile tracks up the East side of the valley and walking the parallel trail though the woods up on top. If you follow the river it maybe shorter but as you get closer to the cache the terrain gets very difficult (not family friendly). The first two caches contain coordinates on the inside of the lids. Follow these coordinates to get to “16 Mile – Pump It Up!”

Thanks ElectroQTed for the inspiration.
