Mt. Kineo

Today we took the excursion across Moosehead and up Kineo. I realized that I didnt have the cache in my gps but new there was a cache up there. I found it with out coords, it took a bit of looking and with time I found it. It was a coffee can with a note book and no trade items with no info in the can about the cache number or the name. It just referanced gc.com. It would be awesome if someone could give me that number. I looked everywhere and I cant find it. Please help me because the last time was in 06.

Help me please.

Buy the way it was awesome. Really worth the effort. It was steep and it was muddy but the veiws where breath taking.

We were talking about this cache the other day and I was going to check on it's state but forgot. So, I looked it up - the cache has been archived, but you found it anyway! Too bad we didn't check ahead of time, you could have trashed it out.

The cache description that I found doesnt match the container that I found. The container I found was a coffee can with just a log book in it. It only had one siginiture in it from 06. The container was in great shape as coffee cans go and the log book was dry. :confused::confused:

Go figure. Looks like a cache investigation is in order

if the log was from '06 that couldn't have been it, there's logs on that cache well through '07.... Maybe someone couldn't find a cache so they hid their own so they could log it....

Do you have the name of the signature?

Any other marks or anything?

Could be a letterbox, perhaps...

Oh come on, no one would do that!

Maybe it was just a coffee can after all. Doesn't GC.com stand for ground coffee? The notebook was probably a shopping list to buy more coffee.

I know it was a red coffee can and all the previous finder did was sign there name. I cant remember who they where. I dont think they where a real active cacher. I havent heard it mentioned anywhere else.

I was looking through the previous logs online and I saw pictures of the orginal cache and I am wondering if someone tok it upon themselves to replace the log and container and not say anything.

Did you find it in the location described on that cache page? A letterbox should have had a stamp......

Ohhhh, we have a mystery!

It was not a letterbox (I dont think), it has something like "for more info contact Geocaching.com"

Not sure if it was a letterbox that it would say that.???:confused:

I wonder if our great Maine approver could help solve the mystery with maybe some looking into caches that may have been placed but not approved then left there as geotrash...... Cough Cough Tom is that possible to find out.

I am wondering at this point if the cache was placed then the approver told them it was to close to another cache then left there.

Oh yes, I missed the point about contact Geocaching.......you are right - couldn't be a letterbox :cool: . An excellent point it could have been placed, never approved and/or picked up.:eek:

It could have been a letter-box hybrid. But would still have contained a stamp, and stamp pad.

Well Luke and I kayak out to Kineo today. Then we kayak around Kineo. Then we climbed Kineo. But we never did look for the cache that you found. The mountain is always worth the effort it takes to do it. Today was just perfect for kayaking, and only slightly to hot for hiking.

So after exchanging some emails with a few trustee cachers and after a moral battle i gave in to the right thing to do. I beleive that the cache log that i signed was infact for a cache that was not Mt. Kineo. Its unfortunate because we worked really hard to get up the hill but i guess its not about the numbers. So this morning at 8:06 I deleted my found log:(. So knowing that there is no caches up there right now that are published I could see one of our very own owning one up there.

I agree, if I couldn't prove to myself it was the right cache, either by name or description/hint or by some contents that matched the online logs, I would not log it either.

Hopefully if someone hides one up there, they will trash out this one. It would be interesting to know who logged it.

group effort....

How about getting a small group together, paddle to the island, hike the mountain and place a new cache? I'd be up for something like this if I have the time off.

I'd love to do another Rescue Ranger mission. It just seems that we are so scattered, and are always going in different directions.

Camping the night at Lily Bay and kayaking does seem like a pretty " fluffy " mission....( cue the white fuzzy bunny music...). :rolleyes:
