Geocache Description:

This is a 3-part multi. The final cache is a regular-sized cammoed container. Terrain is no issue; the only limitation involves the physical cache itself...a person with limited mobility would have difficulty reaching it. This cache is available both day and night...but muggles will definately be in great supply during daylight hours. Heavy traffic. hint, hint,

Note: Cache is NOT at the coordinates listed above.

To find the Totem Pole

N = 12
W= -14



        

Original contents of Totem Pole include:
Log, hacky sack, bubbles, toy car, spare batteries (just in case) and a little token of "Pirateness" for the mighty Pirate crew...HARRRRR I've also dropped the LeadSinger Silver 2 geocoin in this cache


Word of Mild Caution:

There's an unfenced border collie (Trigger) patrolling the property next to the cache. She's never been a biter, but will definately "give you the business" if she spots you. She has 5 acres to watch over so chances are you'd be able to grab the final cache without detection (it's a quick grab), but if you'd prefer to avoid any chance of doggie detection, come after her bedtime - around 10:30 PM.

F.Y.I. - The first two parts of the cache are dog-free.


WAYPOINT ADDED (April 9, 2006)

As the seasons began to change, so did the plant life around the cache…resulting in a very exposed container. SOOOOoooo…when you get to the third waypoint you will find a smaller container. Inside that smaller container you will find directions to the final cache…that will be waiting for you very close by. Sorry for the change but nature mandated it.
