Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, which are only for parking. The coordinates for the cache, however, can be found within 1000 feet of the listed coordinates.

To find the cache, you will have to visit locations A and B in the image below. The coordinates for the final cache can be found at those locations. The hint for the final cache location is included with the information at Location B. If you look around a bit, there are relatively clear paths to both A and B. You can go directly to B from A but may find it easier to go back to the trail. Some minor bushwacking is required for the final cache but shouldn't involve any thorns or poison ivy

    The final cache is a foreign coin exchange that I won at the "Woo Hoo - SJG turns 2!" event (GCXAWM). It is a small cylindrical container, about 4" tall and painted black. Feel free to exchange or even take some foreign coins (there are a lot in there). There is also additional room for small items, including small TBs and geocoins. There's an unactivated geocoin for FTF. EDIT as of February 2019 - final container is a small lock and lock with camo tape on top.

    Have fun and say "hello" to the frogs for me.

    EDIT as of February 2019 - I had to relocate part A so the image has been updated. The final is in the same location although the area has changed a bit.

    EDIT April 13, 2024 - Moved the final a bit closer to the trail to avoid thorns that weren't there originally and also since the original hiding spot is long gone. It is an easy find - nothing needs to be disturbed or moved other than some bark covering the container. If you can't find it, please do not disturb anything, log a DNF and contact me.
