Parachute Woman


LeewayeDiscGolf and
nite_raven got the FTF

UPDATE: July 21, 2017. New lock. Combination is 2011. After closing it turn at least one of the dials to keep it from popping open again.


This is my first large cache, and is easily accessible from either direction on U.S. 50. I recommend you park right next to the cache to help shield your activity from the busy highway. Do not cross the fence onto the private property. The area around the cache could be muddy if it has been raining or snowing. The area is not quite level, but the cache could be wheel chair accessible as long as it is not muddy.

There is plenty of room for trade items and travel bugs. Original contents include sunglasses, dream catcher, old coins, Hot Wheels car, toys, two travel bugs and many miscellaneous items. I intend to keep this cache well-stocked with quality items that will make it fun for the whole family. Please try to trade fairly.

Please take the time to properly close the container and lock it and give the combination dial a spin.

I listed the difficulty as a 1.5 because it is a little tricky getting it open and closed. If you don't see this when you pull up it probably has gone missing.

The cache name was inspired by the many skydivers you can see at the nearby airport. It is also the title of a Rolling Stones song, first released on the 1968 album Beggars Banquet. The album went platinum and reached # 5 on the U.S. charts.

Back in business with a temporary container. I moved this a short distance to make it less noticeable to muggles, but cachers will have no problem finding it. I dropped a couple of travel bugs to entice cachers to come hunt for this.

I am still searching for a container like the original and will put it there when I find it. Meanwhile cache on!

Moving to a spot less obvious to muggles, but still easily found by geocachers.

I'm still actively trying to find a replacement container. This was a one-of-a-kind container and it's been difficult to locate a replacement. I fully intend to replace this cache. If I can't find an equivalent container I will try to figure out something else that would be special. Stay tuned.

No luck here for me today.
