This cache has been archived.

Rattlingcrew: Hello, I am archiving some of the state's caches that have been down for an extended period. It is not the death of your cache, but it does remove the cache from the unfound circles of those cachers who live close enough to have your cache included in their circle. Should you decide to repair or replace the cache and want it reinstated, feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to do that. Thanks for your participation. Glen

Geocache Description:

Cache is a standard ammocan. Its about .16 miles straight-line to the cache, but probably closer to .2 walking from parking. May be inaccessible in wet weather. Cache is in a waterfowl hunting area so be aware of that during waterfowl season. Rehide well in fall/winter. Use lots of bugspray in spring/summer. Many roads in the area are impassable when muddy.

No, this cache has nothing to do with bad, effeminate sounding corporate "music" groups. In. Sink. stands for Inman Sinkhole. One of many sinkholes in the area, this one still shows the signs of a road that was altered when it collapsed. The nearest road had to be diverted around the area when it fell. There is NO danger of catastrophic collapse. For more information on the cause of this sinkhole, see a similar cache by Powercatjeffy called "Crawford Sink." (visit link)

Today, this and much of the Arkansas River valley to the northwest and southeast has been converted to habitat for migratory birds. It is part of the McPherson Valley Wildlife Area. As far as I know, there's no fish other than carp in the water, so don't bother fishing (unless you really like carp).
