Geocache Description:

Duct taped 35 mm cans snuggling close to trees on this dusty, gravel, back road.


Please replace this one as found. Some moss will help keep it snug.

Not quite a power trail, but hopefully a good series to allow for some puzzle caches in the future. Each cache is within a step or so off the road. There can be traffic along the road so pull tightly to the side and keep your lights on as you park and grab most of this series.

Each 35 mm can is wrapped in a different type of duct tape. Inside each can is a number (listed three times: on the inside of the can itself, on the log, and on the plastic bag holding the log). Be sure to keep track of the tape and the number.

 Lots of prickly bushes as well as poison oak so wear long pants and sleeves and bring along some gloves.

It is my intention to create a series of back road caches that will be located through puzzles using the duct tape to number conversion. Each future puzzle cache will include the name Smith Road to relate it to this series.

Congratulations to 3rd Times the Charm for the FTF!
