Geocache Description:

We have camped at Lightning Lakes for years, as children growing up, as young adults and now as parents with our own children.  Since joining the geocaching community in Jan. 2006, we decided that we should probably hide a cache in the Lightning Lakes area.


Team ((Echo)) has been planning this one since we got involved with geocaching.  We had a good idea where we would hide the cache and what kind of container would stand up against the harsh winters, wet springs and hot, dry summers.  This is a simple, short multi-cache where the posted coords will take you to a spot to find a micro-cache with the coords to a final cache location which is a large (12"x7"x8") ammunition can, clearly marked with geocaching markings.. This should take you less than 20 minutes or so and I think should be accessible year round.   I have lubed the seals and checked it for water tightness.   Please be discrete when retrieving and replacing the micro-cache as it is in a high muggle area. The final spot offers some privacy for you to look through the cache contents and log book. 

We have kind of themed the cache with camping stuff, please try and keep to the theme, there are all sorts of camping swag items located in the Manning Park Lodge store if you do not have any.  If you are leaving 'GPSr Food', please make sure they are in a baggie so in case they leak, they won't eat everything in the cache.  I have left several different sized baggies in the cache so that you can bag anything you leave to keep it dry.  Please keep in mind that we are only up this way once or twice a year, so if the cache needs attention and you have the ability to keep it in repair, please do so.  Also, we have stocked it with a lot of decent swag, please trade even or up, lets keep this cache and it's content a quality cache.  There is an FTF certificate and I had intended on getting a Starbuck's cert. for the FTF cacher, however, I ran out of time before the trip so as far as FTF prize, goes, take whatever strikes your fancy without needing to leave anything.

Both waypoints were averaged twice over 3-4 minutes with less than 3m accuracy.
