This multi-cache is a short two-stage adventure that is a little off the beaten trail in Oxbow Park. The park is a great place to visit year round. The landscape is beautiful and you're always sure to spot many forms of wildlife, from interesting bugs to impressive deer. There are trail maps posted at each river bridge and most trail junctions to help guide your adventure.
The approach will take you over a mile through the beauty of the park. Starting from either the first or second bridge will give you about the same distance to hike. You need to make your way to the northern 'cap' of the North Meadow Trail, then to the most northwest corner of that section. Next, hop off of the trail and follow your arrow. If you keep your head up, you can find 'shorts friendly' paths through this area, all the way to the cache. It's not very thick below the tall trees, even in the middle of the summer.
The first stage is small/micro that will reveal the coordinates to the final cache location. From there, you'll have an easy walk to the final cache.

GOOD LUCK!
