Please sign the logs with you initials or better yet group initials to help make the logs last longer. If you could bring along extra log sheets and replace them if necessary it would be a great help. Most of the containers are tied to tree’s with a rope to help keep them in place, please do not untie the caches from there intended place. Very few caches are on the ground but a few are. If you think the cache container is missing please send me an e-mail, I will watch it and if there are a few DNF’s I will replace it. You will want to wear water proof boots as the caches may at time be in a wet area. Tweezers or a leathermen tool with needle nose pliers will be helpful for extracting log sheets. After you find the cache please place the cache so it can’t be seen from the trail.
M.O.T. – Macomb Orchard Trail
Welcome to the Macomb Orchard Trail. These caches have been put out to show off the Macomb Orchard Trail. Many people might not know this trail even exists. I have named all the caches for different Apple varieties some of which are grown in the area. The trail runs from approximately 24 mile and Dequindre rd. to Richmond MI.
One of a group of antique American apples known as 'Limbertwigs', most of which are good keepers and useful for culinary purposes, often with an aromatic or spicy flavor.
