Back Away from the Bay Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

LavaLizard: Based on recent logs, it appears that this cache and/or the cache owner are MIA. Accordingly, I am archiving the listing to remove it from search pages and to allow for new caches in this area. If you would like to correct the issues for this cache, you can either create a new cache page or send me an e-mail with the GCxxxx code for this cache listing. I will re-review it and if it meets current guidelines, it can then be un-archived.

Thank you for your understanding and for your contributions to Geocaching.

Geocache Description:

Adjacent to (but not inside of) a wildlife refuge near a rutted dirt trail. Easy walk from street. WATCH OUT FOR BEEHIVE!!! DANGER!!!

(Sung to the tune of "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay")

"I left my home in Georgia,
headed for the Irvine Back Bay.
I got nothin' to live for
guess I'm going Geocaching today...
Now I'm just caching in the Back of the Bay,
watching the birds fly away...
caching in the Back of the Bay,
not wasting time."

(apologies to Otis Redding)

The hardest part about this cache is putting the double-locked rubbermaid paint container back together. The directions are written on the lid. Please follow them or you won't be able to close it correctly.

The contents include a bunch of stuff, NO TRAVEL BUGS as of 12-1-06 and itty bitty log book.

Please do not trample the ice plant. Muggles generally not a problem but an occasional shortcutter may walk by so be alert. We had no problem hiding it (you'll understand when you find it). Next to (but not inside of) a nature preserve with a VERY beautiful view, birds and water! Great place to walk, birdwatch and geocache.

And, by the way...there is NO CHEESE!
