This cache has been archived.

detourglr: Someone has been taking the cache as fast I am putting a new one up. I been trying to decide what to do with this cache because it is hidden back in 2006. And I am still havent decided but it is almost a month since the reviewer left his note. SO I decided to archive this and it has been a good run. Thanks for everyone that has found this cache.

Geocache Description:

I got permission to place a cache at Jefferson Lake State Park by Todd Metz. And I was thinking I would go out and scope out the area and make a nice, hard and clever cache. As I arrived at the location, I unbuckle my 2-1/2 year old son from his car seat and explain to him what I was planning to do. He told me “NO WAY!!!” You are always caching at locations that my little legs can’t go at and I have to stay home. Let’s make it so some toddlers can go caching with their parents. He then grabs the cache out of my hand and starting running. I start chasing him around the park trying to get the cache back and he is looking everywhere to hide it as he is running. He finally finds the hiding place and stashes it there. It should go there he says. This Cache is for parents to take their toddlers geocaching. Having a 2 year old myself and frustrated that there isn’t a cache to easily show a toddler geocaching and for them to get excited about it. So I made it. This cache is not in the woods. No Hills for a toddler to tumble down. No poison ivy. No tall weeds to walk thru. The grass around this cache is always cut. No dangerous roads near the cache for the little one to walk on. Also the Cache is a ammo container that can hold a lot of trinkets. Something a toddler will get excited about. The small container just does not do. This Cache is located at Jefferson Lake State Park at The horseman Camp. The location is hardly used. There are picnic tables nearby and a shelter. At the shelter there is also water that you have to hand pump to get and kids always love that. If you are lucky, there might be some horses for your little one to get excited about. The cache maybe a little tricky to get out. It is really a tight fit. surprisily a ammo can can fit here.

PLEASE NOTE: Please hide cache as it was hidden. It seems to keep being way too visible. I would hate to put a smaller container and in the woods. I want to keep this cache for toddlers.

GEOCACHING PURIST WARNING – Unfortunately, there some “geocaching Purist” that think everyone should cache the way they do and will leave comments thinking they are the geocaching police. Since Groundspeak owns geocaching.com, I will not tolerate any such post and will be deleted without warning. Please do not let this warning scare you. Except for a selected few, all geocachers are the best people I have ever meet. However there are a selected few that like to think they own this sport and have left comments on other caches to correct other people to cache the way they do. So to keep this cache a family oriented cache, I am issuing this warning.
