The cache is not at the posted coordinates!
Slow
Joe and
his brother Clint have held up a bank and have stolen $25,000.
These not too bright robbers were captured just a few hours after
the crime but forgot where they stashed the loot. All the citizens
of Beanland, including the Sheriff, are not very happy and need
your help.
The Sheriff has made YOU an honorary Deputy to help him
find the stolen cash. You must search near the scene of the crime
where the thieves made
The Get-A-Way for evidence of where they might have hidden the
money. You will also need to search
The Hide Out for clues. If you combine the evidence found at
each of these two places, it will lead you to the $25,000
cache.
As a reward for finding the loot, each deputy is allowed to take
$100 from the stash.

Looks like this cache is getting a LOT of action lately. After having recently tackled The Hide Out and The Get Away, I figured I best put the coordinates obtained to this one to good use before I lose them  .
Added bonus... this is the last cache in the 100's for me. Number 199. The last one to begin with a "1". Well... for now. Until I hit 1000, anyway .
But yes... I remember parking nearby for a completely different cache in the vaguely nearby vicinity. I ended up parking in the exact same place I did for the other one, too. Was contemplating walking from the car directly to the cache, but there appeared to have been for all intents and purposes a lake between myself and the cache site. I thought it best to take the long route and go around this aformentioned lake.
Although, while taking the long route, I got a good view of some of the year's very first river ice break-up! Just a few shards of ice that ruptured free and jutted upwards from the water covering the rest of the surface. See attached picture. It's a bit more broken up going north, and absolutely not at all south... so I managed to snap the pic on what I think is the very first day of break-up. Odds are in a few days it'll be a mangled mess of ice chunks.
Regardless... onwards I treked. Followed some snowmobile trails down much of it, as they seem to have packed down the very soft snow a bit. Kept my feet dry, anyway.
A short walk later, I found the cache! And MAN does it ever smell awesome in that area. On a related note... anyone know what's up with the wood chips to begin with? Anyway... signed me some logbook, and obtained me $100 worth of beanland money, and a Ninja Turtle TB. Then came the trek back. Since the light was waning, and I was wanting to rush off to "Archimedes Adventure" for 200 today, I decided to brave the high seas. I figured that one of the few snowmobile trails might have left me a snow bridge strong enough to cross the lake. It was preeeeetty close a few steps, but I got across mostly dry. The only dampness in my shoes was that of snow getting in, not just water  .
A sweet-smelling end to a nice cache series. Thanks for the adventure!
