GC395B9 Signal Series II #17 (Unknown Cache) in Michigan, United States created by AddHam

This cache has been archived.

AddHam: beancrew has found and picked up SSII caches #14-23, 28-30, 33, 35, 38, and 45-58. There are only 13 left and they will probably be gone Wednesday night (4/23). This series was meant to be archived after last summer but time just didn't allow for it. Unfortunately, maintenance and a desire to clear up the area for other caches weighed more on my mind than keeping this series going. Thanks to all who found them and sorry to all those that wished to yet. Hopefully, someone will put some awesome new geoart in its place. There's plenty of room out there...hint hint [:)]

Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Signal Series!
This series of caches is directly based on the first Signal Series that was located just northwest of Lafayette, IN.

The Back Story
Back when we were somewhat new to geocaching I came up with the idea to write something in the landscape with geocaches. (little did I know the idea had probably been done before) I thought writing my name would be a tad bit selfish and decided to do something that would appeal to all cachers. Signal the Frog. They were all traditional caches where I was able to place them and those that landed on private property were unknown caches with a simple math puzzle to determine the coordinates. The original series included 42 geocaches and, with a little prepwork, they could all be found in one day. Big numbers back then...especially for the area! Unfortunately, we had to move and no one was willing to adopt the entire series so it was time to end it after a good run.

The Second Series
I've always missed having the original series. It was a big hit and seemed to draw people from all around. And when we heard that some people around here even drove down for it, we knew it was time for a comeback.

It wasn't easy finding a large area that was devoid of caches in Western Michigan but you'll find that the series covers approximately 30 sqaure miles between Caledonia and Wayland, MI. It also covers 3 counties.

I also knew that if I were to bring the series back, I'd have to go bigger and better. In SSII, you'll get 59 caches (including the kickoff meet and greet). Again, with some preparation beforehand, you'll be able to hit all caches in one day. And, this time you'll get 6 cache types as well!

These Caches
Most of the containers are camoed pill bottles. They contain a logsheet only inside a ziplock bag. Make sure you BYOP. Make sure you seal the bags up well; the pill bottles are not fully waterproof. I will be maintaining these caches, of course, but please bring extra logsheets/baggies/etc with you on this run to replace anything you may find wrong between my upkeep runs.

You will also encounter a few small sized containers and they are noted on the corresponding pages. Any Puzzle caches in this series, like before, are simple and can be done before your run is made...for easy planning. The 2 Wherigo caches are also "play anywhere" so you can do them beforehand as well.

This Cache
This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To obtain the coordinates to this cache's container, subtract 0.242 from the North and add 1.439 to the West.
