Nelson's Cache Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Ed_S: I hate to do this, because this cache has had a good run and gotten a lot of compliments, but the time has come. The first stage was removed as part of improvements the park did, and there's really no way to duplicate what I had. I could turn it into a single-stage cache, but it's time for someone else to have a chance to place a cache in this unique park.

Geocache Description:

BE VERY CAREFUL IN THIS PARK, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN WITH YOU!! THERE ARE CLIFFS AND TREACHEROUS TERRAIN!! PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!

This cache is in Nelson-Kennedy State Park, or, as I've always known it, Nelson Ledges. Parking is at N41 19.724 W081 02.340 The posted coordinate is for the first metal tag. It's about an inch and a half square. On this tag there are two sets of three numbers stamped. These are your new coordinates - insert these numbers after the decimal point in the coordinates that took you where you are. Replace 790 with the top number and replace 456 with the lower number. This will lead you to another metal tag. Do the same thing with these numbers. This new coordinate is the cache location. The container is a snack container, camo of course, 4 or 5 inches square and about a foot long.The trails with the colored blazes are the official park trails. Red is challenging (try it! but don't get stuck!) Blue and yellow are moderate, and white is easy. There are many other trails, but be aware that not all of these are safe, especially with children along. If you come to something you're not 100% comfortable with, turn around and seek another way. The moderate trails are the most challenging you need to be on, but they may not be the fastest way to the cache. They won't have you jumping over chasms, however. This park is very popular, so be discreet. Also, feel free to CITO. I rated the difficulty as I did because there are places where reception will be poor (you'll understand when you get there). I rated the terrain for the moderate trails. You can easily make the terrain much harder. Think safety! If the first few finders think either rating needs to be adjusted, let me know.

8/5/13 It's back, with a new cache container. If anyone finds the old container - it's a lock -n- lock - let me know, please! It's MIA. It was in the same general area as this one.
