Lost at Sea Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Lostboy1966: This location is probably too muggle-prone to risk replacing the hide. Thanks to those who have hunted for it, and also to those that have given back to the game by placing caches of their own.

Geocache Description:

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship..

OK, this cache might not have all of the high drama and stunning plot twists of Gilligan’s Island, but the hide spot offers a nice view of the Norwalk Islands. The location is in a high traffic area, so stealth is critical - prying eyes are everywhere! The search area is small, so be warned that if civilians are nearby you will have to wait them out, or come back another time.

Be careful to hide the container as well as (if not better) than you found it, as there is a high risk of it being muggled. Any trades should be left in a ziplock to protect them from the wet environment. Small swag only for this one!

In the colder seasons, access to parking quite close to the cache is free; if the entrance post is unmanned, just drive on in. During the warmer months an entry fee is required for non-residents of Norwalk. Optional free parking is available at the Marina / Mini Golf Course just outside and to the right of the beach gates. The walk will be longer, yet easy and enjoyable.

Cache Notes: The container was placed near 12:00 Noon, with an accuracy reading of 4’ with WASS lock. FTF is a scratch-off lottery ticket. In the off season, it seems that the City of Norwalk is lacking in the maintenance of this park (which ticks me off). Lostkid and I did some CITO while placing the hide – please do the same to help keep the reputation of Geocachers high!
