I dont have a GPS locator. So if anyone has one and wants some company in helping to find some of these, I'd love to go. I love geocaching but i normally use my friends but she will be on vacation for 3 weeks and unable to let me borrow. LOL. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

All I gotta say is my Jeep speaks for itself... it says "im awesome" in that cool knight rider voice! haha

If anybody ever gets to the Plymouth area there are a couple of nice Geos here.
1st Geo
Centennial Walk Across The Park
Milti- Stage Cache located in Centennial Park in Plymouth.
The first stage is a 35mm film container very well hidden. Both stages are located in less populated parts of the park, but please watch out for muggles. This is a very busy park. The coordinates for stage two are written on a piece of paper in the the film container. Write them down and replace exactly as you found it. The second stage is an ammo can very well hidden also. The original contents include a travel bug, key chains, 2 bouncing balls, note holder, a lanyard , a pen and a log book.

The Old West School Artesian Well
Buddaman's Description:
Located at the Old West School.
An artesian well allows water to rise to the surface that has traveled through porous rock from a higher elevation. This pumpless well seems to defy gravity because the pressure that builds up between layers of rock gets relieved when the water finds a path to the open air. For nearly a thousand years, people have drilled wells to drink such cold, filtered water that doesn't need to be hauled up from the depths.
An aquifer provides the water source for an artesian well. An aquifer is the layer of permeable rock, like limestone or sandstone, that absorbs water from an inlet path at high elevation such as the top of a mountain. The water source might be fed by snowmelt or precipitation. Porous stone is sandwiched between a top and bottom layer of an impermeable substance like clay soil or shale rock. This keeps the water pressure high, so that when you get to a point below the entryway of the flow, there is enough pressure to bring the water up. Natural springs form in the same way when a gap in the impermeable rock, maybe triggered by an earthquake, allows the water to rise to the surface.
Entire cities have relied on giant underground aquifers to provide fresh, cold water when there are no above-ground rivers. In 1126, monks used a rod with a sharp end, called a bore, to penetrate a layer of impermeable rock. Their percussive drilling, just hammering on the end of the bore, broke through with sheer human force. The water that rose had percolated through the pores of the rock, so that many contaminants have been filtered out, and it proved safer to drink than standing or river water.
Nowadays, if a town or residency needs water closer to the top of a mountain, they might lie above the line where there is enough pressure to push the water all the way to the surface. In this case, the aquifer can be accessed by drilling a relatively shallow well and then pumping the water up to ground level. Our well-drilling has progressed from hammers and bores, to machinery that twists a giant drill into the ground. Sometimes, if the pressure is especially strong, because the well is lower in elevation, the water might thrust up like a fountain, and form a geyser.
The name is now applied to wells of reasonable depth that produce water without the need for pumping.

Good luck all.

God grant me the serenity to accept the impossible trails I cannot crawl, courage to crawl the twisted trails I can and the wisdom to keep the tire side down.
