+FamDa Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I will be staying in Cary for about a week starting e/o January 2008. Naturally I will bring my "gear" . Any "must do" caches you can recommend? Quote Link to comment
+nittany dave Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Tell us what you like (hikes, urban micros, multis, puzzles, etc.) and we'll be able to help. There are 100's of caches in Cary so there's sure to be something to keep you busy! Quote Link to comment
+FamDa Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Yeah, I saw the large number of available caches. But reading through the logs I also note a lot of "not found" and also long times since the last find. That is why I asked for the assistance I prefer small short hikes. Last time I stayed in the Embassy Suites. In the area I did the Boulder cache (GCHQJ0) and some in the area of the hotel. I liked the walk in the park for Bouder. For this time I plan to do at least: Squeeze Da Grape (GCME7T) Big Pointy Teeth (GCMDMZ) Lair of the Lupines (GC14F6F) Rail Against The Machine (GCMV63) These were on my list last time and I did not find the last two then . The current plans are that I will arrive on Saturday and then have the Sunday to cache. Quote Link to comment
+nittany dave Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 You would probably like to hike around in Bond Park. If you go all the way around the lake it would be over a mile but you could just go part way. There are several in different parts of the park near parking that you could find after a short hike. GCCE85 is one you could center on to see the park. Crabtree park is another one with several caches. Some are easy to get if parking outside the park instead of hiking all the way around this lake. GCZK9A is near the park entrance. Someone else will probably chime in as the holidays wind down. I'll check back and maybe give some more suggestions. Also, you can check out the NCGO greatest hits list for other don't miss caches all over the state. Click the link in my sig and go to the Greatest Hits link. Quote Link to comment
+FamDa Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks! Sounds good, I will have a look at the link as well Quote Link to comment

I just did Big Pointy Teeth a couple of days ago, and that one was adorable. As Dave said Bond Park would be a nice place for long walks. I had just about finished when 4 more were added, I still need to do those. PM me if you have any specific questions. PinkD Quote Link to comment
+ncfinn Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 How short is a "short" hike? How far will you be willing to drive? How much time will you have each caching trip? Quote Link to comment

PinkD Well that should me give me good ones to walk around. I could do with a good hint for Rail Against The Machine. Last time I spend half an hour looking for the first part but did not find it. Just saw that it was found today so I will give that one another try next week How short is a "short" hike? How far will you be willing to drive? How much time will you have each caching trip? Short hike is ~ 4 miles, I will arrive Saturday around 15:00 hrs so I will have the remainder of that day, the Sunday and the week evenings. However, this time of year daylight is limited. Depends on whether the cache is worth it. This is why I opened this post. I can only look at the pages and the available pictures. Unfortunately pixs are limited for the caches. Quote Link to comment
wwflover13 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I agree - Rail Against The Machine is a really cool cache, e-mail me thru my profile if you'd like a hint on the first stage. RBC isn't too far away from that, but be sure to have the cache page with you when you find it. Quote Link to comment
