- Jeff, This sounds really tempting. I probably won't know until the last minute if I can make it. If you make any changes in the plan, please post them to the list. Hope I get to go, Susan -----Original Message----- From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jeff the Blue Bead Man Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 11:07 PM To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] Lost Cabin Cache (GC1060) at Pere Marquette SP in Illinois... - Ok, I am sitting at 495 caches and counting. I should hit 500 real soon. I would love to celebrate with others if anybody is willing and wanting. I have wanted to do Myotis' Lost Cabin Cache (GC1060) for quite some time now. It is one of the oldest caches in the area (not THE oldest...just one of the oldest) and from what I hear, it makes a great milestone cache. I almost did it for #400. When I didn't, I made myself a promise to do it as number 500. Well, I am now ready to make the journey. Since the "Magic Number 2" group hunt is scheduled for Sat, I would like to get #500 before then if possible. I'm sure that Magic Number 2 is a very worthy cache for 500, but I have really had my heart set on doing the Lost Cabin cache. So I am planning on trying to tackle (unless some plans change) the Lost Cabin cache on Friday late afternoon-early evening. I plan on hitting the trail about 4:30 if I can make it there by that time. The journey to the cache and back is a few ( 4?) miles long and I hope to be finished before dark. Myotis has specified a particular route to follow to log the cache, so we must follow his route & rules. Here are the parking coords: N38 59.768 W90 30.951 -- Myotis has these for parking coords: N38 59.758 W90 30.904 Both sets of coords are basically in the same area. My coordinates put you right next to an outhouse facility which may be closed, but there is a parking lot there. Myotis coordinates take you to the driveway of a closed area right across the street from the parking lot. Any and all cachers are welcome to join in the hike and the cache. Hope to see you there! -Jeff, the Blue Bead Man **************************************** Our WebPage!
