Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

Geocache Description:

Located in the eastern portion of Monkey Mountain Park.

Fairly long walk A few steep spots Will get feet wet during rainy seasons. Primitive restrooms at south lot only No drinking water available Long pants are advised

According to legend, Monkey Mountain was given its name after a circus train derailed a hundred years ago and its load of monkeys escaped into the woods. But in all the time since then no one has ever found any monkeys or any evidence of a train wreck. Is it just a yarn spun by the local old timers... or has no one looked in the right place?

See if you find find the train wreck and rescue a monkey!

The cache can be approached from either lot. Do not attempt to approach from the east, however, as there is no way to do so without trespassing on private property. There are two large farmed fields that are within park boundaries. If the route you choose takes you to any of them and you cannot find an obvious trail through, please walk along the edge of the field rather than cutting through the crops.

The railroad is outside park boundaries and should not be approached. However the old barn near the cache location is on park land, so if you see it don't worry-- you haven't strayed onto private property. (It looked a little rickety to me, so probably best to stay away from it.)

To Claim Your Find: Simply spotting the container is not enough to count as a find. You must sign the physical log book and return the cache securely to its position for a find to count. Finds listed online that later cannot be matched up with log book entries will be deleted.
