A Series of Unfortunate Caches: The Creepy Cross'g Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

chaosmanor: This thing has been a real trooper! More than thirteen years, with the same container (in pretty good condition, too!) and the original logsheet: that's a record, as far as our caches go.

But all things end, eventually. Time to bid adieu! to this, and make way for new things to Find. Many thanks to those who kept coming out; hope you like our new ones [:D]

Geocache Description:

The names of the caches in this short series are inspired by the Lemony Snickett books that chronicle the adventures of the Baudelaire children. There isn't really anything in this cache that is specifically related to the books; we just like their alliterative titles

This is one of a series of caches on a newish system of trails for which COSCA has recently taken over the maintenance. We helped do some work on this trail on the 2006 Trails Day, and came back the next day to hide a few caches on it. This trail used to be private, but it is now another public-use trail in the Dos Vientos area Did you know that at least a couple of COSCA rangers are active geocachers? BTW: we left room at either end of this series for one of the local Masters of Camo to hide one of their devious little surprises

See the listing for Rotten Rooftops, in this series, for information on trail heads. If you use the parking waypoint that we gave, this is the next-to-last cache you'll come to. It's just a few feet off the trail, somewhere in all that foliage. Did we mention that it's cammoed, too? The name comes from the fact that there is a service road that crosses the trail a few feet from the cache. This road cuts through the open space, between the houses to the north and the ones being built to the south. Thus, this is another of those unusual caches that might need a bit of "rural stealth"

We seeded the cache with a geocoin and a Castle Man star geo-pin. The first two finders get them, if they wish; the pin can be kept, but please move the gecoin along :-) After this, any trade items left are purely up to you; trading isn't needed, but there's room for a few very small items, or a couple of geocoins. There *is* a writing utensil inside.

Hope you enjoy this "new" trail area
