Geocache Description:

Just a fun little cache in celebration of a local cacher's Birthday on May 10th!

Guess who is having ANOTHER birthday??? Yep, it's BikerMike! We won't ask him "which" birthday it is though..........we don't know if we can count that high! But no matter how OLD you are Mikey..........
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The cache is hidden in one of those really cool areas.......you know....the kind where you feel like you're out in the boonies when you're really right in the middle of town!

The best (and legal) route to go at the cache is from Industrial blvd. Turn on Industrial from WEST LOOP 340 (Not S. Industrial Drive from Franklin Avenue!!!) and drive all the way to the end of the paved road and PARK! (PLEASE DO NOT GO OFF ROAD!!! It's illegal here!) There is plenty of good parking around here. Then just enjoy the short hike (less than .15 mile) on the dirt road until the last 100 feet.

The Cache is an OLD 30 cal camo'd ammo can. Yes, an OLD ammo can...we had to be sure that BikerMike would have a "Good" birthday and find this cache on his first attempt! (Just Kidding Mikey!) The cache is in town; but it's still out in the middle of nowhere! Is it scenic? I guess that depends on your definition of "scenic". LOL

The cache has some "birthday" type goodies in it including a little fire extinguisher for Mikey just in case he needs some help blowing out ALL THOSE CANDLES that will be on his cake this year! There is also a special "birthday boy" zip lock baggie with some goodies in it just for BikerMike. (It took up half the container so there just wasn't too much room for anything else!)

There are however, some cool laminated "I Found It" cards for the first "8" finders after BikerMike. Please take one!

Inside Peak at the cache!

Camera in Cache Camera in Cache

The cache also contains a CAMERA. In order to log your find you (yes, you too Mikey!) MUST put on one of the "birthday hats" that are in the cache and take a picture of yourself! You can take another picture too if you would like...but at least one picture must be of you in a birthday hat!!! Also, Please feel free to wave or make a jesture at BikerMike in your picture! Heck, you may even want to bring along a little sign or message to include in the picture. After several pictures are taken I will develope them and not only post them to this cache page; I will also make copies for the Birthday Boy!

Note: The camera does have a flash if you need it. Follow the instructions on the back of the camera in order to activate the flash.

Please write down the picture # ('s) that you took in both the cache log and on your "on line" log so we'll know who is who!

We hope that you will enjoy - enjoying yourselves at BikerMike's expense as much as we always do!

All kidding aside........We hope that BikerMike has the greatest Birthday ever and that all his birthday wishes come true! He's a great guy and a real asset to the GeoCaching Community! Have a FUN Day Mikey!
