Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates. They're for parking.

The actual cache is a quick 2-stage multi in a nice, mushy spot I just happened upon one day.  Enjoy reading about it here http://www.greatswamp.org .  While surfing the website, you will need to find a page that includes an image very similar to the one you see below.  The website image is interactive and will help you to answer the following questions.

 

You must answer the questions to acquire the coordinates to Stage 1. Have fun!  And wear your boots!  Work shoes not advisable!



 

A.   Which Tour Stop discusses a man-made structure designed by Andy Stillinger?  _____

 

B.   Which Tour Stop contains Carex stricta as its dominant plant?  _____

 

C.   Which Tour Stop has been home to the red-finned pickerel and the mud minnow?  _____

 

D.   Which Tour Stop did not meet the requirements for general permit number 17 of the clean water protection rules?  _____

 

E.   Which Tour Stop addresses the problem with the “Billy the Kid” of our forests? _____

 

F.   Which Tour Stop contains plants that form dried heads often referred to as “punks”?  _____

 

Substitute your answers for each corresponding letter:

 

Stage 1:    W 40 45. A  B  C and  N 074 29. D  E  F

 

Stage 1 has been relocated. Coord's still get you within 30 ft of the cache. Expand your search to include a Six Trunk Tree.
At Stage 1 you will find the coordinates that lead you to the final.

 

*** Special Note ***

The Association has a sign located at the site that indicates that tours are available by appointment.  I have confirmed that this site is open to the public for you to enjoy.  No appointment is necessary to enter the site.  They only ask that you close the gate behind you when you enter, and when you leave that you secure the hook that latches the gate securely shut.

You can check your answers for Stage 1 of Wear Your Boots on Geochecker.com.
