Geocache Description:


THIS IS A CHALLENGE CACHE LOCATED WITHIN THE ERNIE MILLER NATURE CENTER GROUNDS.

IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS - DO NOT LOG IT AS A FIND.

THE CACHE ACTUALLY IS AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.

THE ORIGINAL CACHE BY PSYCHOPOMP (GC2A3JY) DID NOT LAST LONG. WE ARE PUTTING OUT A SUCCESSOR IN THE HOPES THAT IT SURVIVES FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

You may log this cache as a find twice -- once for east-west travel from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Coast ; and once for north - south travel from the southern border of the United States with Mexico to the northern border with Canada.

Here's the trick. You need to insure that the states you have found caches in all touch each other (contiguous) and go from one side of the country to the other.

NORTH-SOUTH EXAMPLES
Washington - Oregon - California; or Louisiana - Arkansas - Missouri - Iowa - Minnesota

EAST - WEST EXAMPLES
N. Carolina - Tennessee - Arkansas - Oklahoma - New Mexico - Arizona - California; or Delaware - Pennsylvania - Ohio - Michigan - Wisconsin - Minnesota - N. Dakota - Montana - Idaho - Washington

In your log, you need to list the cache name, GC number, date of find, and state of find so that I can verify that you have indeed found the claimed caches in your list. You must also find & sign this placement. You are looking for a .50cal ammo can hidden within the borders of the Ernie Miller Nature Center in Olathe, KS.

Logs that do not meet these requirements will have to be deleted. Note that this cache was placed during the winter, I expect the greenery to be more dense, ticks present, and potential for poison ivy to be much higher in the warmer months.
