Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the rocks just off the New River Dam/Frog Tank road. It is essentially a P&G. A walk from a car is no more than ~100ft. High clearance isn't required, but if you have it I imagine you could get within 50ft. I consider this a 1.5* terrain, but I set it at 2 because of some loose gravel.

From here there are some nice views of the New River Dam and the surrounding hills.

A while back I published an easy puzzle named Muggled by the police?. A while after it published, Deputy Big D contacted me with the following email:

Just read the description of your "Muggled" cache. That makes me lol, but is sad.

I am a deputy sheriff in a rural Kansas area and I just started caching this year. Like you, I am an overnight worker. I am wanting to "catch" some fellow cachers out at night as I carry some law enforcement trackables around to give them but, so far no luck.

I'm not sure how good my cache placements really are but they look good at 2 and 3 in the morning when I set them.

Yes we are a suspicious lot but that makes me mad that they took the one geocache. Not cool at all.


So we exchanged a few emails, and he said he would send a couple trackables my way. A while later a package arrived in the mail - not only did he send two trackables, but he sent a cache container all ready to go with log, swag, and all! Cool! So I started the unactivated trackable (Here's to Allen County Sheriff's Dept.) in the puzzle cache, and I'm putting a large trackable he sent in this cache!

So to the Allen County Sheriff's Department - and everyone who puts their safety on the line to serve the citizens - stay safe, take care, and good luck!

A NOTE ON TRACKABLES!
This cache is large enough to serve as a TB hub! Please:
  • Check on a trackable's goals before picking it up!
  • Don't collect non-collectible trackables!
  • When picking up and dropping off trackables, don't forget to log them!
Following these rules helps everyone have more fun! Please play the game correctly or keep away from trackables!


Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[Please replace the cache as found, and replace rocks so that the cache is hidden! Just because it's a rock hide doesn't mean that it shouldn't be properly hidden! A geocache should never become litter because it was carelessly replaced!]
