+spoklie Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 This past summer I know I read a log that had information about a Flowing Wells cache and referred to it as the most isolated cache in the contiguous United States. Now, however, when I change my filters to a distance of thirty miles from Circle, Jordan, or from Flowing Wells itself, I get nothing. Does anyone know what has happened to this cache (in McCone County, Montana)? Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is it this archived one? Quote Link to comment
+spoklie Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Is it this archived one? Yes, this is it! I was wondering if the fancy new rest stop had anything to do with its disappearance. Thank you for responding so quickly. Quote Link to comment
+spoklie Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ok, here's another "isolation" cache. This spring two young fellows that work for my son came to the house and said they had found a cache that had not been logged since 2006 or 2007. It was on Canyon Creek Road between Molt and Laurel, Montana. I have tried the filters with 30 miles from each local community but I have found nothing on-line (the young men decided that contract fencing was not for them and they headed back to Seattle before I could pin them down). Does anyone out there know what cache this may be and what its coordinates are? It sounded like an ammo box: the guys swapped for items out of it. Quote Link to comment
+MtnMutt-ProDuckShins Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 have you looked around Libby, Montana? Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 My guess would be "shoo snake!" since it's along Canyon Creek Road, and I'm not seeing any other archived caches or final waypoints along that road. But, the date of the last find doesn't match up with your description, and that cache wasn't an ammo box. Quote Link to comment
+spoklie Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 This has got to be it (remember that the boys were vague in their description)--you are amazing (well, at least in the eyes of a newbie cacher like me). So basically the cache still exists (since the boys found it) but the snake issue in the summertime is an issue: hence the name of the cache. I know I can't log it but I am going to find it! Thanks so much!! Quote Link to comment
+spoklie Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 As to the other comment--ah, Libby is a pretty far stretch away!! Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Nothing prevents you from logging a find on an archived cache that's still in place, provided you sign the logbook and it wasn't archived due to something like trespassing concerns. In this case, the owner couldn't find their own cache. You might send the owner an email with detailed information on the container's location. Remember, Lackeys and Community Volunteer Reviewers can see archived caches and unpublished caches when we do searches on the website. That makes answering questions like yours in this thread a whole lot easier! Quote Link to comment
+MtnMutt-ProDuckShins Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 When using Maps and looking for Canyon Creek Road, Montana the search shows it as Canyon Creek Road, Libby Montana off Lake Koocanusa Scenic Byway 37. Also canyon Creek Rd runs into NFD Road 4912 :animate: Quote Link to comment
