Geocache Description:

In an effort to build geocacher awareness of the historic geocaches in Benzie County, Michigan, this challenge has been issued.

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES. PLEASE READ THE CACHE PAGE TO SEE LOGGING REQUIREMENTS.

The listed coordinates are a good place to park.

The difficulty and terrain rating are for the challenge; the rating for the actual geocache is 1.5/1.5. The attributes listed are for the actual geocache. The path is well marked and easy, minor bushwhacking as cache is just off the trail a little ways. Parking is provided.

In order to claim a find on this challenge, you must find and log five of the current seven oldest existing geocaches in Benzie County. Once the five geocaches have been found and logged, you may find and log this geocache. The seven current oldest existing geocaches in Benzie County are:

GC5B26 L. A. Pathway
GC5E7E Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral
GC7AEF Kiln You Dig It
GC8557 LooneyBin Two
GC92FE GANDERGANG2
GCCB2C The Pampered Cache
GCF955 Underdeadwood

Here is a list of other old caches that have been archived in Benzie county. You can substitute one of these caches for one of the caches above and only one. This means you can actually do 4 active caches listed above and one of the archived caches listed below. If you feel I have missed a old cache in this county please let me know and if I agree it will be added.

I have none to list t this time.

You may prove you have met the challenge by posting your finds to a public bookmark or by listing your finds in the body of your log on this geocache. Either way, be sure to give the GC Code, geocache name, and date found. This must be done at the time the "Found" log is submitted. Prior finds do count. Please trade fairly for other geocachers. Travel bugs and geocoins are welcome.

Don't forget Cache In Trash Out.

Cache is located at N 44° 31.951 W 86° 02.202
