+Jeeters Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Horse droppings #1 How many unfound caches this old are are left? Wow, looks like maybe the rating keeps people scared off. Did you think the ratings were justified? On a related note, I've noticed a few caches that have gone unfound for quite a while suddenly having YJTBs dropped off in them by people. I suspect in an attempt to generate some traffic to the cache? Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Did you think the ratings were justified? I dunno. You have to walk for two days before you start the climb. I think that rates a 4.5. After all that, though...an old ice cream container in a bag? Whew! Quote Link to comment

+Gonzo-YT Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 (edited) Icefield discovery is older than that, June 9 2001 to be exact. Out in the middle of Kluane National Park, this one requires a 10-14 day hike or use of an aircraft. The description and coords sound pretty dodgy too -- I'd be worried about not finding this one if I did make the trip. This one isn't that surprising, especially since we don't have a lot of caching going on up here. Only 2 out of 7 caches placed this year have a FTF. It is not uncommon for a cache to go a year before being found or between finds. For instance, Scout Lake Road is the oldest cache in the Yukon and also one of the easier ones to get to. It has been found exactly twice in over three years, and one of those was me a few weeks ago. Edited August 20, 2004 by Gonzo-YT Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Well, this one has only gone 18 months, but heck, look where it's at. I'm thinkin' future contender.... Quote Link to comment

I've hiked up the slims river from Sheep Mt. to the Kaskawalsh (sp?) glacier and back, and also done the scout lake road a few times. Loved camping back there. Kluane NP is one AMAZING place geocachers. Quote Link to comment
