Geocache Description:

Located on the high ground of Mackinac Island. Expect a decent up hill walk with smalls rises on top.


DO NOT LOOK FOR THIS CACHE ON OR AFTER June 15, 2013.

My intentions are to remove this cache, clean it out, re-stock it, and deploy it as a new cache somewhere else on Mackinac Island.

This cache will be disabled approximately two weeks prior to the above listed date as a notice of it's pending archiving.

I will be arriving on the island on the above listed date, and will be there for a few days. Depending on several factors, I may not get to every cache that this notice is being posted to. If I do not get to this cache, it will be enabled for normal caching.

I have created a bookmark list of the caches that are being affected. Please refer to Soon To Be Replaced Caches.

Late logging of finds before June 15, 2013 will be allowed. Found it logs with dates on or after June 15, 2013 will be questioned and possibly deleted. If you log late, please use the correct date you found it.

Located near the southern end of the island. Be careful on the trails as many of them have roots and rocks to trip you up. This cache is on the Rock Trail, but I didn't see to many rocks. You will be searching for an ammo can. Please re-hide as found or better. Please trade fair or don't trade.

I would like to thank Team Kalsin for the donation of this ammo can.

I highly recommend picking up an "Mackinac Island Map" from the information booth across the street from the Arnold docks. If the maps are not in the holders on the front of the building, look on the sides of the building. For your convenience and planning, you can view or print the PDF file for the Mackinac Island Map. The one available at the information booth is printed on a glossy paper and holds up fairly well when repeatedly tucked in and out of a pocket or caching bag.

Also for your convenience I have created some non-geocache waypoints. They are for:


MIMAPS Mackinac Island Maps
MITOWN In town bathrooms and drinking fountain
MISEDRINK Southeast Water Fountain
MIBRITISHLANDG Bathrooms, drinking fountain and snack bar
MIUPARCHROCK Bathrooms and drinking fountain

These waypoints can be download as a zipped GPX file here. If I would put these as child waypoints on each cache you would end up with many child waypoints with the same coords but different names. If I put them on a couple a cache pages then you may not download those caches. I would love to hear how this works out for you or if you have any suggestions.
