CN 78175
« on: June 04, 2008, 05:48:39 PM »
Well Tammy went to town this morning to look for the cache CN 78175. Nobody was around except for parks mowing the lawn, after about 30 minutes she was approach by park people and asked if she needed help she told them what she was doing there and was asked to leave the park. nothing was being touch on the car but I guess she was spending too much time there looking. Tammy didn't ask for no names of the people that ask her to leave.

CN 78175 - My-o-my!
Tis a difficult cache!
It is magnetic, but where is it?
Search high and low, but which one?
Or is it even that?
Left or Right? It that correct?
Maybe - Maybe Not!
Will it be found? Will it be lost?
Is your GPS affected by the metal?
Maybe - Maybe not!
It may not be all for not!
But great satisfaction for FTF!!!!!!
To finally get that cache off the "To-Find" List!
Will it be Shroomazoom, Mechman, Ragbag or someone else?
Many have tried!
Many will cry!
The cache will be found! Someday!
Time for bed - Goodnight to all!

Went looking again for this cache, 4 of us and met 2 cachers from Timmins, We spent at least 1.5 hrs looking with no success. Maybe it's time for a clue!!!!!!

I will be checking this cache out on my way through Thunder Bay on Friday or Saturday this weekend.  Will post later.  As I suspect the cache will be safely located in its original spot.  Will post later

Boy, this one is tough.  The parks guys must be very protective of that caboose.  Keep your spirits up, the cache will be found

We are gradually making our way to Dallas - we must have slowed down - 3rd night in Minnesota - Oh well, we still have 5 days to get to Dallas for the Ford Model A Meet.  We have found 15 of the Minnesota State History Challenge caches so far.

Those guys must be very protective of that caboose.  Keep your spirits up (or maybe it would be better to drink some spirits), the cache can be found.  Actually it should be fairly easy.  You will realise that when you finally find it.

Congratulations to ChrisDom for the F-T-F on CN 78175.  Finally after 52 days the cache is found.  I have added another hint to the cache page

Ha Jim! I like your new "hint": FEEL. That's almost as helpful as making the hint: LOOK! :)

Ah ha, but he didn't say LOOK - that must mean that we can not "see" it.  It must be FELT for, keeping in mind that the cache was hidden in March (when there was snow on the ground), this limits the number of "FEEL"-ey places.  If this helps anyone - I get co-discovery rites!!!  ;D

Not much action on this cache lately.

You think this cache is bad - try "lets ride the rails" GC13ATE  in Chapleau.  This cache is on the steam locomotive just outside of the Chapleau Musuem.  After about 6-8 visits over the past 14 months, I finally found this cache.  Even then it took a while to find.

If you attend the "WWFM V - Revenge of the Caboose" event on May 2, 2009, the secret location of CN 78175 will be revealed

CN 78175 cache has been disabled

Recently the caboose and thus the cache has been moved to a new location at Marina Park.
Access to the new cache location has been fenced off with no admittance due to the construction in the area.

The cache will remain disabled until the area is once again opened to the general public.  I will report periodically on the progress towards getting the cache reactivated.

The cache reviewer will need for me to post notes on the cache page about monthly on the progress of the construction, until the cache can be reactivated.

So until that time,  I will need some help from the geocachers in Thunder Bay.  If you notice that the cache location and the area around the caboose has been opened up to the public. please let me know so that I can reactivated the cache.  I will also check the cache location when I can get to Thunder Bay.

Thank-you in advance for any help you can give me on this.

Could someone please check to see if this cache is accessible now?

And if it is, could someone grab a new set of coordinates for me and either put them here or e-mail them to me?  Then I can update the cache page and re-activate the cache

I have assumed that is some-one who has found the cache container.


Thanks in advance
