This cache is placed to honor the esteemed Oklahoma wildman cacher
and artist, Kiamichi Muskrat his own self.
Some KGA members thought it would be a hoot to set out caches in
a way that would emulate another KGAr's style, location, etc. We
hope this one would have some attributes that Mr. Muskrat would
enjoy.
KM has already been near the cache site, so he should be
familiar with one upfront decision to be made when arriving at the
cache site: how to get there from here. The cache name doesn't
contain a cuss word, it's one of the options. If you have high
water, this option ain't happening. There's a trail crossing over
nearby, but again, if there's high water, don't go or go around via
the hiking trail that can bring you from the other parts of the
park.
This cache will require some travel for Poteau area based KM. It
will require a minor uphill hike to near the cache area (+/- 1/4
mile, unless you do some brush popping). It may require some GPS'r
triangulation due to canopy. And the Mountain Trail that the cache
is located near, is approx 4 3/4 mi long, and takes you across the
top of the bluffs overlooking Lakes Carlton and Wayne Wallace. This
trail is one way, and not a loop, so be prepared if you decide to
hike it.
The cache is a medium large jar with some camoflauge, and
shouldn't be too bad to find. Just look for where a cache belongs.
Robber's Cave is truly one of Oklahoma's gems, and one of our
favorite places to go. While you're here, enjoy some of the other
caches in the area, including the winning cache from the 2004
Fallfest event that was held here. And, for those so inclined,
there's a benchmark very near where you'll park for this cache, and
a very easy benchmark a few miles up the park road.
Here's to the artist, hope you enjoy...
