Geocache Description:

You are looking for a teeny log in a delecate container. A tweezers might be needed. Handle this host with care as it is fairly fragile. BYOP and sign initials only! 

This is a great point of view to see all across the bog with it's varied landscapes. A good pair of binoculars would be a great tool for spotting birds and other wildlife, but it won't be much help in finding this cache.
Congrats to Team Mars for the FTF!!
