+mcon1 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) In a cache, I found a notecard that showed partial coordinates to a secret cache north of Dallas (on 75/69). I put the coordinates in my gps and found that without the rest of the numbers, it covers a 1 mile by 200 foot rectangle. it is supposed to be a micro. The card mentioned other 'clues' and I was wondering if anyone knew more about it? or how I could get more clues? actually my main question is, how can I find the "cache page" for this cache. the notecard didn't say who hid it, or the name of the cache. It could be a hoax, but I thought I would check anyways. btw I left that notecard in u.x.o. in Dallas in case someone wants to see what I'm talking about.

+tstar Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I haven't heard anything about that. Sounds interesting, if it is real. You should post your thread in the south southwest regional forum or even in the texasgeocaching site. Quote Link to comment
Jamethiel Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 It wouldn't be the first cache with coords to a secret second cache that was placed for searchers of the first cache. And because the coords are parital, I'd bet you should start searching out caches owned by the same people in order to find the rest of the coords. A local cacher has placed a 4 cache series in which you should go to 3 to get the coords for the 4th, and I have seen silent secondary caches in other places as well. Good luck with the one you may find! -Jennifer Quote Link to comment
Find Now, Log Later? Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 This used to be a common way to send people to a "bonus cache." It is also a way to alert people to "secret caches" that are hidden in violation of Federal/State/Local laws and/or regulations and even - gasp - geocaching.com guidelines. Quote Link to comment
+Ms_Behaving Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Maybe it will lead you to secret cache Quote Link to comment
+mcon1 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 ok I got some more information on it. The cache is called something simular to "How Deep is the Mississippi" but I ran a search for "Deep" and a separate one for "Mississippi" and neither of them found the cache that was described on the notecard. I'll try emailing some people who may have some more information. I just thought I would post an update. That would be awesome if it went to "secret cache" Quote Link to comment
BCR Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 From the TexasGeocaching.com North Texas forum, it is a defunct cache that was on Navicache.com See http://www.texasgeocaching.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1707 Quote Link to comment
