Hi Fellow ArkGeo Cachers,
We have just returned home to 6+ inches of snow in Wisconsin after a great 3 weeks of camping, hiking and geocaching in the Natural State. While there we visited with geocaching friends, Cachecrazies and Pa/Ma from Arkansas. Pa/Ma had recently finished their 1000th cache, and we wanted to transport a Wisconsin Geocaching tradition to Arkansas...so we hid a solid gold (would you believe gold painted?) ammo can with 1000 on the outside for them to find as a private cache.
The theory is that they find it, trade what they want, sign the log AND the outside of the can, then re-hide it or give it to another cacher at an event after he/she finishes their 1000th for them to do the same. First part went well, as they found their 1000th can near Jo Jo's along the White River where we dined on catfish after the Bean Festival. They don't attend many events and didn't know others approaching 1000 caches, SO they asked us to hide it for another 1000-finder to find.
We have hidden the gold ammo can as a private cache (not listed on geocaching.com) at Pigeon Creek Recreation area near Mountain Home, Ar. Any Arkansas geocacher who has 1000 or more finds is welcome to seek it out, take the can, sign the outside, and pass on to another at an event or as a private cache to continue on the tradition.
Only rules are: Leave a note in this thread that you are going to seek it, so others will not be looking at the same time and be disappointed.
Parking N 36* 24.409 Final Container at N 36* 24.396
W 092* 21.574 W 092* 21.900
Hint. Between stump and bottom of ledge
Difficulty 2 Terrain 3 (distance about .3 mile as the crow flies) Just off a nice trail.
Happy trails!! Hotdogs_Off_Trail from Wisconsin
