The Prestige Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Ben Gates's nemesis: I've decided to archive several of my caches in the area for three main reasons: 1) the recent, ungrateful responses from greenhorn geocachers, many of which have never placed a cache, but are more than willing to criticize the placement of someone who has; 2) the apparent lack of enjoyment that many geocachers are experiencing, as reflected in their pathetic one- to two-word logs or "TFTC" only; and 3) the apparent inability of recent geocachers to consider that there might be open hunting seasons, and that these would be terrible times to search for caches of this type.

To those of you who have genuinely enjoyed these caches, I appreciate your adventurous spirit and your fun and interesting log messages. To the rest of you, perhaps the activity of geocaching is not for you. I'm fairly certain that there are numerous other ways to spend your time that will probably be less "disappointing" for you.

It might be best NOT to attempt this cache alone. A rope could be helpful, but may not be necessary.(75 feet is almost perfect!)
