Geocache Description:

The above Coordinates are not correct. Do not attempt this cache without reading the entire cache page.

The object of this is to solve the puzzle and then decode the message. When you finish, message or email me with the last word in the phrase for confirmation.

The terrain is challenging on this cache as well. The original trail has been decommissioned several years ago. With the verifying phrase, parking coordinates will be sent which will be a much easier access. Just follow your arrow. Come prepared with good hiking boots, proper attire, and be on the lookout for animals. We saw lots of animal trails and....well.....'Doot'.

The puzzle can be found below in the posted images.

This may not be a long hike or a technical climb but there are many trip hazards and lots of things that will poke and grab at you.

As of 6/26/15, the cache is a regular sized painted nut jar. If it stands the test of time, I'll upgrade to an ammo box.
