FSU*Noles: Stopped by today and verified the container is gone...or at least, I couldn't find it there today. Clearing up the spot, it's been a fun five-year run for this one...thanks for visiting, everyone!

Geocache Description:

A quick and easy Kids and Family cache series, in our little hometown of Buffalo!


Cache Details

This series of caches is for kids, families, and the young at heart! They are designed, hidden, and maintained by the 'Noles kidlets in the manner they like to find 'em when we're out "treasure hunting" - in other words, they are your basic tupperware containers hidden in the usual spots in the woods. :) We hope you enjoy the quick tour of our community parks and playfields!


Location, Parking, and Access

This is the replacement cache for the original Eastland Estates Park multi-cache...it is located just north of the old cache, along the same bike trail. If you have time, continue along the trail from here for another .16 miles to GCYTVW "Home of the Bison!".

The best parking is behind Buffalo High School, near the tennis courts, at N 45° 11.044 W 093° 49.907. It's free and legal most of the time, but during school hours this lot requires a permit or your car will get towed. If you must visit this cache during school hours, you'll have to take the long lonely walk from the school visitor lot, or use the original Eastland Estates multi-cache parking coordinates at N 45° 10.889 W 093° 50.226 for a super-long walk. No matter where you park, it's an easy walk along a paved bike trail all the way to the cache location.

You are looking for an 11-cup camo-wrapped Lock 'n Lock container, hidden in one of the only two spots at the geo-beacon. The cache starts out with small toys and trinkets, hand-selected by the 'Noles kidlets from their own personal collection, along with a $5 Target giftcard for the first finder. Other caches in this series:

  • Mills-Sturges Park (GCRB8W)
  • Trapper's Pond Park (GCRBNP)
  • Serenity Hills Park (GCRD6A)
  • Greenbriar Park (GCRDPA)
  • Home of the Bison! (GCYTVW)

As always - thanks, have fun, and happy hunting!
