You've Lost Your Marbles! Multi-cache
NTMOLOGIST: I'm sad to say that I headed out to this one to check on it and decided to put this one to rest. Thanks to all who had visited it. The Guard Hill Preserve is now cache-less.... any takers?

This multi-cache is located in the Guard Hill Preserve located off
of Guard Hill Road in Bedford, NY. The first two stages are
medium-sized containers. The final is a large container suitable
for all trade items and TBs.
Stage 1 is located at the parking area. The coordinates are the
header coordinates. Hint: You may need to strategically park your
vehicle to reduce the muggle factor while searching for the first
stage. Lots of cars and equestrians. There is also a house across
the street that may create an extra challenge. Standard
“high-muggle territory search techniques” apply. (The fake phone
call, photo taking, stretching, etc.) STAGE 1 IS NOT IN OR
AROUND THE MAILBOX.
When you retrieve the coordinates to stage 2, subtract 014 from the
North and subtract 009 from the West for more accuracy. Thanks
DominoCT for "fine-tuning" stage two!
The trail is well-marked and the terrain begins as a dusty trail
eventually leading into a peaceful, fern-infested pine grove. Total
distance to and from the final cache is about one mile. This cache
may take more than an hour. Each stage is close to the trail so
there is no need to do any significant bushwacking until the final.
The final is an easy bushwack approximately 275ft. up off the
trail.
IMPORTANT!!! Please, please, please precisely return the
objects that you find. (Including the logbook!!)
Please do not include spoilers when logging your visit online,
being nebulous and ambiguous, however, is encouraged! Enjoy and
GOOD LUCK!!.... and really, I hope you don’t lose your marbles when
doing this cache!!
