The Plotz Plot Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Tierra Buena: In 23 years of geocaching, we've placed about 40 caches and had to archive about half of them for various reasons. But we think it's safe to say that we've never had more regret about archiving a cache than we have for this one. The sad fact is, we've had no response from the property owner. As a result, the cache, while still in its place, is physically inaccessible. If we ever learn that access to the cache has been restored, we'll publish a new listing as quickly as possible, because the cache itself is intact; you just can't get to it. Thanks to all those who found it.

Geocache Description:


While browsing the web back in March 2020, we came across an article about a new site in Arizona that we thought was interesting and deserving of a geocache. A couple of things like the winds of Apache County and Covid-19 got in the way, but two years later, an ammo can is finally in place for you to find. 

The web page for The Plotz Plot describes where and why it came into being. You should read it. It does a much better job of describing The Plotz Plot than we ever could, and you'll likely have a very difficult time signing the log if you don't read it.

As always when caching in the Arizona desert, beware "the jaws that bite, the claws that catch".

TAKE EXIT 303 OFF OF I-40. DO NOT TAKE EXIT 300. 

The members of Team Tierra Buena gratefully acknowldge Joshua Foer, co-founder of Atlas Obscura, who has granted us permission to place this cache on their property. Thank you, Josh.

 

Congratulations spuwee for FTF!
