Pofe: 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. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

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 of your 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,

Geocache Description:

This two-part multi cache is located in Crandall Park. Parking and access is from the lot adjacent to the Lions Club baseball field off Cider Mill Road in Tolland. If you get past stage one, the final should be relatively easy.

PLEASE NOTE!!! BOTH STAGES OF THE CACHE DO NOT REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE IN ANY MANNER ANY STONES, OBJECTS OR OTHERWISE DISTURB THE NATURAL FEATURES. Just be observant and use the hints!!

Be careful with ice over the paved trail during the winter months!

This is our first attempt at creating a family-oriented cache that could be found with a handicapped team member. Families with small children or teams that need to push a baby stroller would also be able to enjoy the hunt. After more than 60 finds under our belt, we have been looking for local caches of this type that we could do as a family, since we have a disabled daughter that has been unable to participate on most occasions. As popularity of this sport grows, we believe there is a particular need for more of these caches. Recent ADA improvements by the Town of Tolland have increased accessibility in the area and established a paved walking surface through meadow habitat. This cache offers a paved walking trail in a pleasant setting, designated handicapped parking and a relatively short stroll on Town-owned land. Each stage is within twenty (20) feet of the paved asphalt surface. The able-bodied member of the cache team will still have to do the actual searching, however, the handicapped member will be able to assist with verbal instructions if possible and/or observe in full view while the cache is located.

The first stage is a micro which may prove challenging! The final cache is a medium sized ammo box chocked full of fun items and some outdoor-oriented items. Starting contents include:

DVD- “Make Room for Daddy”
DVD- “Incredible Story Studios”
Music CD- Hall and Oats
Carabineer
Mosquito Head Net
Emergency Whistle/lanyard
Flashing safety light
Whoopie Cushion (Our favorite!)
“Spark” making wheel
Sports watch
Sewing kit
Squeaky Dog ball toy
Two Dog leashes (our “pet” peeve is misbehaved dogs off-lead)
Junior Conservation Officer Badge
GEORGIA GEOCOIN
WHEELIE TRAVEL BUG

We hope you enjoy the cache. Please feel free to e-mail us if you experience any frustration or need additional hints! We will be the first to admit to having to do the same occasionally.
