Geocache Description:


I'm getting tired of people in the Geocaching.com forums refering to caches they don't like as Lame Caches. Of course they insist its not that don't like the caches, but that these are really lame - they can't see any reason why someone placed these caches. Why do people leave magnetic hide-a-keys on dumpsters behind the supermarket? Why should there be a cache under a lamppost skirt in every Wal*Mart?

Here's a cache that people who like micros hidden in alleys will think is lame. The cache only requires a 1.5 mile hike in each direction, but going to the cache is all up hill. The terrain makes it difficult get good coordinates. I think I finally got one's that are close enough. The cache is a regular ammo can with some nice swag in it. It shouldn't be too hard to find. A forest service Adventure Pass is required to park at the trailhead.

Some people define a lame cache as one that was hidden only to give people an opportunity to get another smiley. In that case, this is definitely a lame cache. There is already a cache to get you on this trail - (GCH7GY) Scouting's Highest Honor - Mt. Baden-Powell. That cache is on several people's watchlist and is often recommended for a milestone cache. I placed my cache solely to provide a 2nd smiley opportunity for those who need the extra incentive to climb Mt. Baden-Powell. Pretty lame reason.
