H.N.M.C. #1 - Cotton Belt Bridge Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Capt.Hook13: Sorry folks, it's been a busy couple of years. Obviously, I am unable to keep up with my caches. I am shutting down the ones that have been reported missing and will be trying to make it out to check the others soon. If anyone is interested in adopting any of the active caches, let me know, otherwise I will be shutting them down if I start to get DNFs on them. Thank you to those who helped to keep these going as long as they did [^] Cache on!

Geocache Description:


Hurst Needs More Caches

Cotton Belt Bridge

Welcome to the Hurst Needs More Caches series!

This is the first cache in a series of caches spread all around the city of Hurst, TX. There are 10 traditional caches plus 1 bonus cache for those who participate in the whole series. You may choose to find one or all of the caches in the series. If you want to find the bonus cache you will have to collect numbers written on the logs of the 10 traditional caches as you go. You do not have to find the caches in numerical order as I have named them, although you might find yourself saving some gas if you plan to do them all in one day.


The Bonus is located at

N32 AB.CDE
W097 FG.HIJ

To find the missing numbers, you will have to find the corresponding letter/number combo written on the logs of each of the following caches

The Cache

You will be looking for a medium sized container on one of the bridges along the Cotton Belt Trail. There is no need to act like a troll here. The cache is easily obtainable if you lean in the right place. Please be careful when retrieving the cache. There is a poorly constructed dollar shirt for the FTF! Please place the cache back as you found it and as always, watch for muggles

Update: I have added a waypoint for somewhat convenient parking

Update#2: A big thanks to Wolfeitz for replacing this cache while I am out of town! Cache is now a bison
