Geocache Description:

This cache is a tribute to Liminal Man… you know, that guy that brings us to the ends-of-roads and leads us down paths-less-taken. This cache isn’t for LM's 1000th find or anything; rather it’s just a ‘thank you’ for the enjoyment that his hides provide.



Liminal Man still remains in general anonymity, yet we’ve learned so much about him: he enjoys powdered milk chocolate drinks and he's devised alternative uses for childrens' bicycle inner-tubes. He also has a penchant for testing your powers of observation whilst requiring you to employ your best counter-muggle techniques. Some of his caches are in such odd locations that you must consult aerial images, paper maps, and even local citizens in order to figure out your route to the cache. “How do I get there? Where the heck am I? Oh yeah, it’s a Liminal Man cache”.

So, LM, here’s to you. Thanks for showing us the quiet paths, the lonesome roads, and conversely the high-traffic areas -- no pun intended... and for otherwise providing all the other trials & pleasures in geocaching. After 4 years of email conversations with you, it was nice to actually meet you in August 2009.

NOTES:
- See the Additional Waypoints section for parking & trailhead.

-- Notice that the “road” ends abruptly at the trailhead, and then you’ll walk on a slant as you pass under the nearby bridge. I normally walk slanted, so it was no big deal to me.

- The cache is located along a little-used trail that Liminal Man has probably already scouted. It's not yet an official mountain bike trail, but you MAY have to clear the path if a biker-scout happens along.

- This ammo can cache was not placed by bicycle, but still: ride to live – live to ride. CITO
