Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Seven of Seven cache - No Find log


Here's my log for a "No Find" from this past weekend. There's no cache web
page to log it, so I'll log it here. We were in Prescott and found the One
through Six of Seven caches. We're 99.9% sure we have the correct
coordinates for the Seventh (final) cache and went hunting for it. WOW! That
was an adventure!

I saw two routes to the cache, and approached from the East. This was a very
rarely used 4WD trail that had some good (challenging) sections. We had to
bushwhack 1/4 mile to the cache site. This was dense, close, scrub brush
which made going extremely tough (uphill, of course). My arms look like raw
meat now. Normally, cache's are on the Top of hills. We got to the top, and
had to go back down a ravine. 4 of us looked around for 45 minutes and
couldn't find it. We had already spent 3 hours getting to this point, and it
was going to get dark soon. We finally gave up and worked our way back to
the Jeep. I drove out the West, as I didn't want to attempt going back the
way we came in since it was getting late and didn't have another Jeep with
us. Luckily, this route was much easier (but longer). We got out okay, but
were disappointed for not finding the Seven of Seven cache after working so
hard on it.

I've Emailed Lincoln to verify what we did wrong. Oh well... It was still
fun.
