Mosquito Coast (aka Goose Landing) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MuDweeb: My thanks to Keystone for helping me decide what to do with this cache site. I have decided to archive this listing for reasons of safety. The Oxbow Lake area is an active hunting area with numerous special hunts including a newly added nuisant deer hunt at the neighboring airport. I have many hunting friends and a majority of them have expressed some concern about recreational hiking in this area especially during the fall and spring hunting seasons. Some of the concerns were related to spooking wildlife and other concerns were related to hikers being mistaken for game. My apologizes for not doing this earlier, however, with fall hunting season only weeks away, I feel it is best to close the site than to risk a hunting accident.

Geocache Description:


Located in the Oxbow Lake area this cache is in a location for the sure-of-foot. Bikes, strollers, etc. not recommended once you are on the trail. Park at N41* 20.742 W084* 26.505 and walk counterclockwise around the lake. When you cross the earthen dike you will be at the head of two separate trails. Take the path least traveled. You will eventually cross three rather small ravines.  The trail is narrow and ungroomed but it takes you directly into the area you need to be. Enjoy the walk. Be certain to visit the other cache in this area; "Oxbow Lake (AKA wabit twacks)".  As with any trek into the woods safety must be considered. Always be aware of hunting season. Wear Optic Orange to be seen and/or bells to be heard. Have fun. (This cache site has been approved by the Ohio Division of Wildlife, Office of Law Enforcement.)
