Geocache Description:

Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone was pivotal to the development of modern communications. Over the past 136 years, phones have evolved to include cellular service and smart phone apps, including a range of geocaching-related apps. You are looking for a bison tube. Log sheet only. BYOP.

This is one of ten geocaches in our Parkway Challenge Series. All caches in the series are placed in close proximity to the network of pathways along either side of the Three Sisters Parkway. The challenge is to find and sign the official log for all ten geocaches. There’s no set order for finding the caches and no information to collect. We’ll reward the first five geocaching accounts to complete the challenge with an unactivated GeoKs’ geocoin, delivered via snail mail unless alternate arrangements are made.

The terrain rating for all caches in the series is two or lower. We rode bikes or walked to place all the caches in their hiding spots. The difficulty ratings range from 1.5 to 5. Several caches in the series are highly engineered. Brute force is NOT required. Brain power IS required. If you can't open a cache in this series, there's probably something about the cache container that you haven't yet figured out. Please re-read the cache title, description and hint (if any) for any information you may have overlooked and then try again.

The other geocaches in the series are:
GC4KAQ4 – Welcome to Three Sisters
GC4M9H3 – A Bird’s Eye View (Reimagined)
GC755H7 - Birdhouse MAZE
GC4M9H7 – Avis Domus
GC4NCWC – Angry Birds?
GC5XYK2 – Pipe Dreams II
GC4M9HT – Ironhide

GC4NCWX – The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

NOTE: This area is frequented by wildlife, including elk, deer and occasionally coyotes, bears and/or cougars. Please be WILDSMART - make lots of noise and carry bear spray (and know how to use it).

This is not a park 'n' grab. Parking is available on Dyrgas Gate or Fitzgerald Rise. Please exercise the usual due care when crossing the street and cattle (elk) guard). This hide uses salvaged/recycled materials.
