Geocache Description:

There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. This is the final of a four-cache series where you will use the topographical map (& legend) provided to navigate to certain features in the woods, and then use your GPS to project a waypoint from a particular feature to the cache. There are trails to get you close, and then a healthy dose of bushwhacking. The total mileage will vary depending on your navigation skills, but plan for about 2 miles. Come prepared! (see below)


Full cache name:
Toponaut: Fountainhead North 4, Supreme Commander of the Mappable Universe


10/12/17: added hunting attribute. Aim for Sundays during hunting season.

Toponaut: Fountainhead North

Important note: It is suggested that you complete one of my other Toponaut series before attempting this one (see: Toponaut: Hemlock and Toponaut: Fountainhead East). Both of those series have detailed primers to get you started reading the maps and telling you what to do when you get to a red star. This series does not, and assumes you are familiar with the methods employed to find the Toponaut caches.

To find this cache, you must first retrieve the clue from the Toponaut: Fountainhead North 3, Confluence cache.

This series needs to be done in sequence, both geographically, in order of difficulty, and to retrieve clues to continue. All together the series will lead to about a 2-mile round trip hike (or possibly more of course!).

Navigate to the red star. Use the information gathered at previous cache in series to project waypoint.

Tips

  1. There are three stages.
  2. Make sure you have access to the legend as there is a new item to navigate to.

Some other notes:

  • Have fun exploring! However this is mostly ungroomed territory so be mindful of underground robots and great mambo chickens.
