Posted coordinates will lead you to Pioneer cemetery where you will need to gather some information in order to calculate the final location of the cache. As always, please be respectful when visiting a cemetery.
The final is located along Hemlock Trail in Peninsula State Park. Park hours are 6a-11p, and a State Park sticker is required on all vehicles. Follow all park rules, and stay on the trails between stages.
The final is more than half a mile from the cemetery and up on a ridge, so come prepared for a hike. You will not need to go near any drop-off, so this cache should be suitable for the whole family.
This trail is one of the lesser traveled trails in the park, but we really enjoyed our hike. Along the way, we spotted several interesting rock sculptures, and we posted pictures of some of our favorites. Pictures and stories of your hike are welcomed.
