The cache is NOT at the above coordinates. But rather the above coordinates will take you to the starting point of this mystery/multiple step night cache. Cachers will need a good illumination device and a sense of calm and adventure to complete this cache. Final cache is big enough to be discovered with the right light.

Operation Night Hawk.

Mission- Link up at 2100hrs Zulu with 2LT Wiseowl for coordination and recieve instructions for mission.

Once you arrive at LZ you will need to do a 360 with your sure fire maglight. Continue to flash your light until you see the two distintive white lights. The two white lights is 2LT Wiseowl's position. Once you arrive to LT Wiseowl's position and make coordination, you will be allowed to move in what ever military tactical foramtion you desire. We suggest using bounding overwatch because enemy contact is likely and stealth is required.

To start your movement use your surefire maglight to find the next flash dot. These flash dots will take you to the objective. Some flash dots will be close (50 feet) while others will be far apart (300 feet). All Flash Dots are white in color.

The objective will be marked by several white flashdots. They will resemble the face of the Night Hawk. When you see this you have made your objective.Here, the cache is near by. Its up to you to find the cache with the follow on mission.

Once mission is complete you will move to the open field for extraction by Blackhawk helicopters.

DANGER!!! Insurgents have infiltrated the park area and are harrasing the local population. They are in civilian attire and carry an assortment of weapons (AK47s, RPGs, SVD sniper rifles) Military intel has informed us that two suicide vests have been smuggled in from Syria. The insurgents are motivated and prepared to fight to the death. So be on the watchout.

WARNING!!! You will cross rivers, open danger areas, linear crossings, and mine fields. Be prepared and carry one CLS bag and have at least one combat medic or two combat lifesavers.

1 high powered flashlight (maglight or stronger)
1 pair of good boots

September 3 by KKrew08 (281 found) Lost this one by the creek. I was outta time so I couldn't expand the search. [view this log]

March 17 by ex nihilo (592 found) Went for this tonight with a few friends for extra eyes. Looked high and low but we were stumped. Even stumbled on a fellow cacher who was stuck with us! Made it through at least 7 of the stages. I fear one of the markers may have been swept away by the winter weather. Crossed the creek once for a marker but didn't find where to go from there. Can provide the coordinates to the last point we located if needed. [view this log]

March 16 by rholmesjr (474 found) went out on what I thought was a really goodnight to look for this one but about 10-15 minutes in to this one got stumped try paf no one could really help standing around looking for it then a seen flashlights hoping it was more geocachers and it was then they caught up with me we all stood around looking for the next marker no luck ,will try again after someone finds it or i see a note about it really enjoyed what i did do [view this log]

August 8, 2008 by ripcurlgolferman (100 found) Wow most impressive hide, me and two others claystalker and rmc_pincrusher07 went out and it took us two nights to solve this one. We got lost a couple of times so we just wondered around until we found the next part. I must say that doing it in the middle of summer is probably not the best way to do it. But the satisfaction at the end was well worth it [view this log]
