Thank you kindly sir!
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Hi All,
We always enjoy a challenge, and finding a “lonely cache” can always fulfill that need. We have recently returned home from a 3 week camping, caching, and ArkGeo and MOGA events. While camping along the Arkansas River at Aux Ark Park, I was perusing the caches in the area, and saw a really lonely Mack Mountain cache (GCRXDM). It hadn’t been found in over 5 years..that would qualify..yes?? I told Bonnie, If we do any caches for the day, that’s the one I want to find. Great drive to get there with a turn-off that we would only have found with the coords, as it looked like a driveway, 2 hour leisurely hike through the woods, to get to GZ, and a long hard search to find an ammo can in the woods. Searched for over an hour with and without the hint. 5 years can leave a lot of ground clutter on a container, and change GZ with new downfalls, etc. Had a picnic lunch before hunting a bit more..persistence sometimes pays off. Bonnie and the dogs had finally had enough and started walking away, when I poked in a spot near a rock that did not fit the hint and heard that wonderful “thunk” of hiking stick on ammo can. cleaned it off a bit to make sure, called Bonnie back, did a big Happy Dance, and retrieved the can. Couldn’t get it open….had to bang it on a tree to get it to loosen up. Contents, including a lonesome TB, were all fine and dry. Perfect day…and thought about your lonely cache game. Keep searching…you never know.

You guys definitely have quite the adventures. We have been actively seeking out the lonelies like you describe above. It’s the thunk of an ammo can or the I hear Tupperware!
It’s been a pleasure speaking with you over the last couple of months. The next newsletter comes out in July. Watch your inbox 🙂I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
