Lost in the Black
Hills
This cache is the Final of 109 caches in the Lost in the Black
Hills Series.
If this cache requires maintenance please
post a “Needs Maintenance” log describing the problem
so that it can be corrected.
Congratulations on
completing the Lost in the Black Hills Series!
If you have any remaining extra
logs/cache containers please leave them in the cache for future
use.
The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. This cache is
chirp enabled, but does NOT require a chirp compatible
device to find the final. It is only there to aid you in finding
the cache if your Garmin GPS is able to detect it. Currently these
GPSr's are supported: Garmin Dakota 20, All Oregon's, All GPSMAP
78's, & GPSMAP 62st, you also must be running software version
4.10 or higher.
I decided to create the Lost Series after getting lost in this area
on my way to a monthly Meet & Greet in Sturgis. It will take
you on a tour of a peaceful area in the Black Hills on mostly
well-groomed gravel roads. Throughout the series there are several
patterns that aid your search if you pick up on them. Below is
other useful information when attempting this series.
How to find the Series Final
To determine the final three digits in each coordinate,
you’ll need to find the six missing values represented by
letters in the code below. Each of the six missing values is
written on the inside of the lids of two separate caches. This is
done in case you miss one of the values or the cache is missing.
When you find one of these numbers in this format A=1, B=7 for
example, simply plug it into the set of coordinates below.
N 44° 14.OTH
W 103° 30.ERS
Optional areas
There are two parts of this Series that require a High Clearance
Vehicle to complete, they are NOT required in order to find
the numbers for the final.
Lost 022 – Lost 043
These caches are located on a fun little loop down some rough and
rocky gravel roads. It is highly recommended you do NOT try
this loop with a car or risk vehicle damage. There is a gate
located near Lost 022 that is closed from Dec 15th – May 15
for Wildlife Winter Range. You could also take a hike to complete
this section.
Lost 051 – Lost 060
A short 2 mile round-trip drive down another rough and rocky gravel
road. Again it is highly recommended you do NOT try this road with
a car or risk vehicle damage. You could also take a hike to
complete this section.
Series Maintenance
This series consist of 106 Small containers and 3 Regular
containers. If there is a Needs Maintenance log posted for one of
the caches I will post that information at Lost 001 GC2GNW2 and if you would like to
help out you can retrieve the needed supplies from either Lost 001,
or one of the other designated maintenance caches to repair it as
you work to complete the series. Your help will ensure the Series
is around for years to come for other cachers to enjoy as well as
decreasing your chances of a DNF.
I appreciate your help with maintenance of this Series, however if
there is a need for maintenace that has not been resolved within a
reasonable amount of time, Team kizb or Team Diveguy will take
corrective actions to resolve the maintenance problem.
I have also created a Special Geocoin to go along with this series
which is trackable on Geocaching.com
You can contact me at teamkizb@gmail.com for more details
about, or to purchase, the Series Geocoin.
I hope you enjoy finding all the caches in this series as much as I
did creating it. Happy Trails!
