Delaware Town Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OzarksJim: Second of four of my Nixa-area caches that I'm archiving this afternoon. I checked on this one and found it to be about 50 feet from its original hiding spot. I'm glad I called my wife for the coordinates or I never would have been able to find my own cache. It is indeed wet inside the cache, so I'll clean it out and re-hide it soon as a new cache somewhere in the Willard area. Thanks to all who came looking for this one over the last few years. ~OzarksJim - Willard, MO

Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the Delaware Town Access Conservation Area in Christian County, just west of Nixa.

To get to the cache, take the Delaware Town road off of Highway 14 (look for the Delaware Town sign) and then turn left onto the Delaware Access Road. Any size vehicle should be able to drive and park on the side of this level (but bumpy) dirt and gravel road.

You may want to check out the James River before or after you find the cache, as it's a pretty nice fishing spot. However, PLEASE take the "No Swimming" signs seriously, as a few people have drowned in this part of the river.

It's about 300 feet from the road to the cache, but as they say, "getting there is half the battle". Especially in the summertime, you will be confronted with grass that is as tall as a grown man, so bushwhacking may be necessary. There are no trails here, so step carefully.

In warmer months, you will more than likely encounter ticks and chiggers. I came across lone star ticks and American dog ticks. Insect repellent is highly recommended. If you don't like getting attacked by these little bugs, I recommend going after this cache in the winter.

I wouldn't recommend wearing your favorite socks to this cache, as there are lots of burrs in the tall grass.

It should be fairly easy to find the cache, so I'm not providing a clue. The coords were averaged over 1000 times, with an accuracy of about 11-15 feet.

The cache is a green decon container. Original contents are:

  • Stash note
  • Logbook w/pencil (bring a pen in case the lead on the pencil is broken)
  • Insect repellent towelette
  • Party favor
Since this is a small container, please only trade small items. When you are finished, please close the lid TIGHTLY and replace the cache EXACTLY as you found it.

Happy caching!
