Including Rudy (front left), 30 of us attended Operation Ice Walk 2005, on 02/05! All
but one of us made it all the way to the cache site across the ice!
Be sure to read the logs here and at Operation Ice Walk 2005 to view all the great
pictures and comments from everyone! Thanks to everyone for
making this hunt for the Un"Guarded" cache such a fun
experience.
It was originally expected that
this cache would be one of the least found caches in the area.
Untill Operation Ice Walk this remained true. Several reasons
for this will become apparent as you learn more about the general
location of this cache.
This cache is located in
Michigan, very close to the Ohio border. It should be a fun hunt
for those in Southeastern Michigan as well as those in Northwest
Ohio.
The coordinates at the top of
this page are for the original location of the cache before it was
plundered in June of 2005. The next location is only about 20
feet away at N 41° 44.886' W 83° 26.563'. The cache had
been plundered again when checked on 10/06/07, so it was replaced
on 10/09/07 back to the original location. Therefore if you
are really lucky, you may find TWO containers!
The cache container should be
reasonably weatherproof if care is taken to close it properly. To
add to the difficulty of the cache, no additional information
will be given about the container. Along with a log book, the cache
was initially packed to the brim with several interesting
items.
There are multiple ways to
approach this cache. To further add to the difficulty, no
information will be given as to how to approach the cache location.
However, for your safety, please study the available maps and
charts carefully and abide by all laws that may involve your
approach method.
The general difficulty rating
of the cache was started at level 3. This may be
adjusted later based on your feedback. The terrain rating however
will always remain at level 5, since special equipment is
required.
Please try to CITO (Cache In -
Trash Out) while at this cache.
