Turkey Mountain Park<\/a> is an urban wilderness area right on the Arkansas River in Tulsa. It consists of 300 acres of rocks, trees, creeks, ponds, and hills and has a network of trails. It’s a good place to go geocaching<\/a>, running, hiking, and biking.<\/p>\n

The cache we are looking for is named Turkey Mountain Rocks<\/a> placed by the “The Wolfgang.” The coordinates are N 36\u00b0 04.901 W 095\u00b0 59.528. <\/span> I went hunting for it last Friday. I’m going to violate all sorts of geocaching ethics and show you just how to get the cache. I hope The Wolfgang doesn’t get mad. They sound kind of fierce.<\/p>\n

Just plug those coordinates into your handy dandy GPS and come on with me. We start down this trail from the parking lot.<\/p>\n

Then the trail gets a little rougher<\/p>\n

\"20100312_8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you get here, just follow the arrow, it’ll lead you right to it.<\/p>\n

\"20100312_10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Any questions? Good, you are doing great!!<\/p>\n

After a while, the trail gets a little hard to see. Just keep forging ahead is my motto.<\/p>\n

\"20100312_7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, wow, look, our first solid clue. A map of Oklahoma, in the shape of a rock. Study it closely.<\/p>\n

\"20100312_17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the deal. The location of the cache is on the map. Yeah, the rest is up to you! Don’t you like a challenge?<\/p>\n

Feeling a little discouraged? Well, good guy that I am, I am going to show you a digital route to the cache. I’ll be banned for life from the Tulsa Area Geocachers club. But, I think information needs to be free. Don’t you, really? Caches are hidden to be found. That’s right. So take a peek. <\/p>\n

\"20100312_24\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yep, there it is. The world is your oyster, name and claim it, grab that cache. Keep on going, you are getting close.<\/p>\n

\"20100312_21\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Isn’t that a great view of the river? You are on the right track.<\/p>\n

\"20100312_20\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, you are practically there. You should be able to see it by now.<\/p>\n

What? you can’t?. OK, I’ll give you a visual clue. I’m laying this cache bare for the world to see. All you have to do is walk around until the sky looks like this.<\/p>\n

\"20100312_22\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Study, the twig and leaf pattern carefully. When you see something identical over your head reach down to your feet and grab that cache! Its yours now. Sign the log, hide carefully and head home for a cold one.<\/p>\n

Good job.<\/p>\n
