Geocache Description:

This is the 4th and final cache I've placed in Ecotat Gardens and Arboretum in Hermon. Easy walking along nicely groomed trails. Just off one of the main trails and should be winter friendly.

This is my forth Snipe Hunt hide. As with the other three, this idea dates back to my early Boy Scout days when the troop leaders would take the youngsters out into the woods on a "snipe hunt", typically at night. We were given sticks and told to beat on the sides of trees in hopes of flushing out a "snipe" which was, supposedly, a bird that lived in hollows inside the trees or in holes along the roots. Of course, there was no such bird but the kids loved it. But this time the bird is really there and holding a log for you to sign. The cache is small/regular in size but the log container is micro so don't worry about trading items.
