This cache is north of Ginger and of course 240 degrees from Aloft’s front porch.
This cache is placed near prime Buffalo grassland. Be real still and real quiet and you can hear them grazing in the distance. This is a small waterproof cache that has room for things. It is the same container as used on Aloft’s Circle 180 aka ‘Hangin Around 3’ GCNMBK. Contents are a log and pen and of course a brand new Buffalo Nickel. Has room for a couple of skinny TB’s
Aloft23 is a cacher from Mount Pleasant that Buffalo Scout introduced to caching in May 2004 and he has since gone nuts. He is a cache animal that found 800 in his first year of hunting. Aloft is obsessed with the 50 mile circle around his home coordinates and aggressively grabs every cache that shows up in the circle. His computer is programmed to check for new caches every five minutes… just like Outlook checks for e-mail. Buffalo Scout and friends mdthquist, Sportracker, Wingspann, SquirrelGPS, mtquaks and CloudBuster conspired to place and find privately before posting publicly on geocaching.com 4 caches around Aloft’s mystical 50 mile circle. We wanted them to be as far apart as possible so we put them at bearings (from Aloft’s home) of 90, 180, 270, and 360 degrees. They were all approved at the same time and hit the airwaves simultaneously. The original 4 caches on Aloft’s Circle are:
GCNMB8 Almost Hangin Around 2 (is 90 degrees on Aloft’s Circle)
GCNMBK Hangin Around 3 (is 180 degrees on Aloft’s Circle)
GCNMG9 Hangin Around Loft (is 270 degrees on Aloft’s Circle)
GCNMFZ Hangin Around A (is 360 degrees on Aloft’s Circle)
And now with the help of the above conspirators and the additional assistance from mtquaks we are placing eight more caches on the circle!! These are placed at thirty degree intervals around the circle and as close to 50 mile distance away as possible. This is quite a challenge cause normally you find a real neat spot for a cache, place it and shoot the coordinates. With this scheme we have coordinates…go to that place and try to find a good spot for a cache. This was a lot of fun for those of us that set this up for the cache animal to go round and round chasing his tail around Aloft’s Circle. All eight of these were approved and hit the web on the same day, in the same hour and we are sure the alarms on Aloft’s computer were going haywire. So now, Aloft’s Circle has 12 caches on it and Aloft will probably be the only one to capture them all…cause he is the Cache Animal and the rest of us are just normal cachers enjoying his antics.
