Krypton: As there's been no response to my previous note, I assume that the cache is not going to be repaired or replaced, so I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:



.

 

This is my home town! Where I was raised and raised a little hell. I came to town to visit family and do some caching. I thought this town needs a new multi cache, so here ya go.

Way point 1 is across the street from the home that I grew up in. For your pet cachers it also offers a pet store for any pet needs.

Way point 2 is a great place to explore as I did much of this in my childhood. This location offers much to do for kids - teenagers. After you find Way Points 2 - 5 I would advise you to visit "Superior Diary" across the street. This one of a kind ice cream shop has been operating from the same building for over 100 years. I have looked all over the country for ice cream that is as good as "Superior Diary Ice cream". I have never fond anything that comes close. As a matter of fact tour buses stop here, one item that gets people all excited is the "S.O.S." it is a ice cream dish with 3 1/2 pounds of ice cream! Topped with whipped cream and a cute little umbrella. If you want something smaller you'll have many choices. One flavor I really enjoy is " Strawberry Freeze " it is a ultra strong strawberry flavored ice cream made strangely enough without milk.

On my trip back to Seattle I carried 3 cartons of ice cream in the freezer of the motor home. You got to do what ya got to do :)

This Cache container and it’s contents have been rescued from a park in Washington State that was closed shortly after 9/11. As I understand it the park was on Government Property and fenced off. The cachers in Washington State are pretty adventurous folks as one of them infiltrated the park and rescued the cache. I came to have the cache in my possession thanks to a raffle that I won at a Cache In Trash Out event I had attended in Washington State.

I thought that this may have been worth noting just for the historical value of the cache. Yes, it has some interesting history. Ok, maybe not that interesting, but history none the less. Take a look at the log book and see if you recognize any names.

Happy Caching,
4chin Seeker


P.S. Take a look at the date of the final log. You know the one from the caches original finds.
