Remember the old brainteaser, "How far can you walk into the
woods?" Of course the answer is, "Half way." Because
once you're half way in you're walking out of the woods!
Get it?
The coordinates for this cache WILL NOT TAKE YOU TO THE
CACHE! Rather, they are the parking coordinates. You're going
to need to do some interesting work to arrive at the actual
location for the cache.
Baber woods is almost perfectly square. In order to find this
cache you will need to find the exact center of the woods (more or
less). There are several methods that you could use to arrive at
this. Pick the one that works for you.
For those of you who love the walk in the woods and the big box
at the end, this one's for you!
Just a couple other notes, though:
1. Please do not post your coordinates on the cache page. If you do
I will delete your find!
2. If you would like, please email me the coordinates you arrive at
before you go. I will let you know whether you are close or
not.
3. The cache is located on a gravel road. Be aware of that if you
prefer to travel by motorcycle.
I remember when I was in grade school we would occasionally go
on field trips to Baber Woods. When I moved back to Kansas this was
one of the first places I thought about hiding a geocache. Thanks
to FlowerDoc and some people he knows I was finally able to place
this cache here.
The box you're going to find is a fairly large ammo can with a
decent camo job (if I do say so myself). Original contents
included:
- A logbook
- A camera to record your visit (please don't take any spoiler
pictures. I'll post the pictures on this page later)
- Various stress balls
- Software
- A coffee mug from my webpage (it didn't turn out so hot)
- Various other things
