Anyone near Yakima Washington want to "find" a free brand new ARB air compressor kit? Must be physically near there, or wanna drive there.

If you find the August marker, it is worth a free ARB compressor kit.

Exact coordinates from the August issue:

47 degrees 8.7563 N
120 degrees 19.9412 W

Hopefully someone on here will find it, showing support for Land Rovers! Good luck!!!! :victory: atriot:

Doh! I'm about 2-3hrs from there. But my LandRover is in the Garage with a severe overheating problem. Looking like the heads need to come off.

To bad, that would have been a fun day excursion.

Not sure what the compressor is worth, but it would be fun to try and find that marker. I guess they hide them pretty good sometimes. Some of which were never found.

 

[Zarati]

Well, if its still unfound in a week or so....... I may road trip it and give it a shot.

Whoa I was about to hurry off until I realized that this was from an aug 08 issue.

If it's not gone I'd be surprised.

I will not know until I get home tonight, but I am pretty sure the coordinates I got out of the magazine were from the August 2009 issue.

There's a lot of guys in our group from Yakima. Sounds like a fun geocache to find.

hmmm, the link said that article was posted some time in '08.

 

[d1driver]

I just confirmed it. Those coordinates are from the August 2009 Geostash. They are valid, the magazine was just received, and according to the website, the marker at those coordinates has not been found yet.

If I lived near there, I would be all over it.

Wow, I'm really tempted. It would take maybe an hour... it's only 36 miles from my house.

The prize is this compressor kit:

No one on here looking for a little trek? Still no report of marker being found yet on their website.

We've had several guys from the Northwest Overand Society go and look for it. It looks like a lot of other people have been up there too. At this point, there are stumps torn out of the ground, cut up with chainsaws, etc. Either someone found it, it is buried 6 feet under, or those coordinates are wrong (One guy did independantly verify the coordinates though).

Haven't looked myself.

Craig, thanks for the update, im tempted to head out and hike around again...

 

[craig]

Ryan,

Even the possibility of finding it would make for a nice day. You should head up there.
