Geocache Description:

A quick stop off of I-80, with parking and a smaller area with a table suitable for a break. Placed with the Chamber of Commerce's permission.


Argus - a mythological primordial giant whose all-seeing ability led to his being described with multiple, often one hundred, eyes. A very effective watchman indeed. Argus's hotel then must be a giant.. and have the ability to watch over his travel bug friends. It is for this purpose that Argus has been summoned again to aid the geocaching world. He surely is a friend to any geocacher who seeks his aid.

While having the ability to see every direction and keep watch, Argus has also mastered the ability of blending in. Being a giant however, it shouldn't be too difficult to locate him though it does require a bit of strength to move him about. There should be plenty of room at the hotel at any given time, as well as room for various other swag. Argus will attempt to keep up with his inventory listing of trackables on a regular basis. Argus hopes that all trackables that visit him will enjoy the stay! Please however do not post any spoiler pictures of this cache online as Argus is kind of a shy giant.  Argus looks forward to your visit.

The only real challenge with this cache is to retrieve and replace it with as much stealth as possible. Argus is a friend to geocachers, but would prefer to remain unacquainted with muggles. The difficulty rating is rated as such because it may take patience AND stealth to retrieve this cache. Please be considerate of these factors.

If you trade, please try to trade up or trade even. If you move along a trackable, PLEASE log it in a timely fashion. Remember... Argus is watching. 

"They set a watcher upon the cache, great and strong Argus, who with his hundred eyes looks every way. Unwearying strength: sleep never feel upon his eyes; but he kept sure watch always."
