This cache has been archived.

Port Dawg Cacher: Looks like two of the stages are gone now. Gonna go ahead and archive this one for now as I won't be able to replace until next year.

Geocache Description:


This is a 4 stage multi, but it's not a coordinate to coordinate type cache. The first 3 stages (which by the way are super-micros, those with bad eyesight might want to bring a magnifying glass) will give you the info you need to pinpoint the final cache which is an ammocan.

This cache is located around the newly completed City of Orange Boat Launch. This area I expect will see even more improvements over the years, but for now, the foundation is set with some very nice boat launches and fishing pier.

All of the stages are within walking distance. If you walk all four, the round trip is about 3/4 mile but you can cut a few corners with a little driving between stages. No bushwacking or kayaking required for this one! It's completely dry and walkable, but don't let that fool you into a false sense of ease!

While you do not need a motor boat for this cache, this location would be a fantastic launchpoint to work on the great " I cached the Sabine" quest.  This cache is itself part of the quest, and does contain a clue that when combined with the clues from the other caches in the quest will lead you to the bonus. (As I update this, April 14th at 7pm, the I cached the Sabine is not yet ready for publication, but it will be soon!)

Clarification:

The first stage clue is very small print and might be misleading.. there is a 'dot' between the first and second characters. It'll make sense when you see it.

The second stage might make more sense and certainly put you at the right place if you remove the word 'here' from the hint.

1/2 a mile south of these launches rests the rusting away launches Destroyers built in Orange during WWII.
