Please cover the cache back up so it can't be seen, just as it was. More people than you'd probably guess come to this area.

Expect some unexpected drift at the site. Despite that there shouldn't be any problem finding it unless there's much snow, which will cause trouble.

NOTE: Be sure to log your name and date of visit to the cache log. We will delete any online logs that do not have a corresponding entry in the cache logbook. This is to discourage "cheaters". Please work this one out on your own without help from others. This should be half the fun! For your online log to count, be sure you email us the time of day we've written on the cover of the logbook. Thanks!
