Island cache on beutiful Lake Lanier. Boat needed….

I see this island almost every day of my life. Thought what a great place for another cache. The name of the cache is just a sugestion not the theme. I love to fish, maybe to much. Some of my finest childhood memories were fishing with my mother & father. Have fun!!!! Take a kid fishing…… Official Geocache Code:  GCTZ75

Note: I checked coordinates this morning after FTF noted that they may be off. Numbers still fluctuated like the day it was placed guessing due to tree cover. Had numbers close to both mine and his. In saying that clue has been left. Thanks
Contents of the cache. Fishing corks, sunscreen, flashlights,
hand cleaner, toy airplane flashlight and some foreign coins.

 This was originally Doggie Day Out. Please feel free to find it again. The Pictures have been developed you can see them at: http://www.geocities.com/annenordstrom/DDO_1.html

This is a standard cache located in The Elatchee Nature Center in Gainesville. It is a dog “friendly” Cache chock full of doggie toys and some stuff for humans as well in a standard green ammo can. It is a pleasant half mile in hike that you and your Best Friend will enjoy. This is a Dog Themed cache so please try to follow the theme when leaving items for trade.
There is a camera in the cache. Please take a picture of your puppy; I will get them developed and post them. And as always please leash your dogs. It is mainly for their safety as well as the safety of others.

Note: This cache location has been graciously approved by the Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve. As the Preserve has limited the number and the location of geocaches please do not place your own cache here without first contacting me for further details. Thanks.

The Gainesville area is suffering from a severe shortage of new caches. So in the interest of alleviating this situation I plan on hiding a variety of fresh new caches.

This is just a simple park and sign for a quick smiley and to help those who are trying to keep their daily streaks alive.

The coords posted above are for one of two parking areas you might use. This is somewhat like a multistage cache hunt but you get to decide how many stages to make it! The temptation may be to just cut to the chase, but “The More the Merrier”!
 

There are several other caches in this area, some or all of which you may already have found. If you’ve already found them you may have a bit of an advantage, but not much as you probably neglected to note the number and the clue written on the inside back cover of the log book. That number is the distance to this cache. Now maybe the advantage goes to those who haven’t found the other caches - they get to log multiple smiley faces on this hunt!

Alright, think about this: You find one of the other caches and it says “.75 mile” inside the back cover of the log book. Well, you could theoretically walk a three quarter mile radius circle around that cache and find the “More the Merrier” cache. That wouldn’t be very efficient though, would it? And if you missed it you’d have to keep going around and around without much of an idea of where to look. The clue provided with the distance spec may help a bit, but it’s only one of five clues.

Find a second cache, note the distance and clue in it’s log book, and you’d theoretically have two places where the two circles intersect. (Now you know how your GPS feels when it can only lock into a couple of satellites!) Find a third cache and you should be able to figure out where the cache is. However if you’re working with half mile (and larger) diameter circles the position error won’t be favorable. Find more of the other caches and you should do pretty well as you fine tune the cache location.

So how do you fine tune the location? You could do some triangulation calculations at home and return. Or you could switch the “Go To” on your GPS from cache to cache and try to get all the distances to equal the distances you noted from the log books as you hike around. If all the distances match up and the clues make sense too you should be at the cache.

I guess doing it the mathematical way the number of stars for difficulty goes up, the other way the terrain difficulty goes up as you may be doing some bushwacking. I’d suggest marking the caches on the trail map as you find them, drawing intersecting arcs to find roughly where the “More the Merrier” cache is, then going to that area and doing the “Go-To” thing mentioned above. Or perhaps you could project an arc of waypoints on your GPS and look for intersections of these arcs? Just so there won’t be any unpleasant surprises I rated both terrain and difficulty on the high end. Be sure to bring plenty of water!

So what are the other area caches? Here you go, click on these links:

HI EPE
Doggie’s Day Out
Phileas Fogg Cache
Kid’s Cache
invisible cache

Some of these caches are easier to find than others but several of them are so obtuse that their posted coords don’t even show up as being close to the others - but they are. My thanks to the other cache owners for unwittingly participating in this. They may have a slight advantage in this quest, but they’ll need it.
Hehehehe
have fun

At the end of your Odyssey you’ll be looking for an antique .50 cal ammo can.

Even a blind pig would be able to find this one. You should almost be ashamed to log a smiley here but what the heck, it still counts.

Muggles will not be a problem here. Just a simple park and sign but please do NOT park on the road. Carefully replace the rubber gasket for a tight seal.

This should be a relatively easy find in a continuation of my plan to add several fresh new caches in the Gainesville area. The intention is to spice things up for the locals and give them a simple smiley to add to their collection.

You are looking for a waterptoof match container. Carefully replace the rubber gasket for a tight seal after you have signed the log.

Nickerboker - relocated; little difficult with the terrain;

Ammo can with various trinkets inside; take something leave something or just sign log. Log has FTF on it currently, but we are starting over, since I had to relocate the can because of previous access issues. If accessing from the golf course, can only hunt before 8:00am or after 5:00pm. If you access from other points, come on any time.
