Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Mr. Obvious Book Cache!  This cache is hidden in the woods, so please use caution and be aware of all the creepy crawly things that exist in mother nature! Cache is on an unimproved greenway. Trail is uneven and will be very wet when it is raining. Final 180 ft will require bushwhacking. You might not want to bring very young children. 


 Posted coordinates are for the parking lot. The lot might be closed if there is a major event at the RBC center. This lot is authorized parking for the Loblolly greenway trail. If the lot is blocked and nothing is going on at the RBC center, do what I did and contact the Raleigh Parks Department! 

Micros...some people love them..others hate them! This cache is for all the micro haters out there! This cache will give you a chance to get away from those concrete jungle micro caches! The container is a LARGE ammo can. Please note : I did not say full size ammo can or 1/2 size  ammo can. All ammo cans are full size unless you modify them. The size is based on the type of ammo and configuration of the ammo. 

 The cache is located at N35 48.XXX  W078 43.YYY

You will  begin your journey at N35 48.056 W078 43.532. At this location you will see a trail marker that says START. This will be your starting point. The first portion of the trail is paved, but it is just a short section. Follow the chain link fence. Once you cross the small section of concrete, the trail goes to the left. Trail is not well marked. There are some trees and posts along the trail painted with white (and sometimes blue) markings.

 At N35 48.264 W078 43.550 you will come to a 1/4 mile trail marker. It is about .25 miles from the start marker to the 1/4 mile marker. Divide 418 by the bottom number of the fraction that is written on this post. Multiply the result by 4. This will be XXX.

 At N35 48.473 W078 43.554 you will come to a 1/2 mile trail marker. It is about .5 mile from the start marker to the 1/2 mile marker.  Multiply 516 by the fraction written on the 1/2 mile trail marker. Multiply your result by 2.This will be YYY.

Enter the woods when your GPSr says you are about 180 ft from the cache. Before you enter the woods, think about the clue. You may see something along the trail that will clue you in!  

Use caution as you approach the cache. There are many fallen and rotting logs in the area. The cache container will only open from one end. The cache contains lots of paperback books. Please bring one to trade. Also put it in a ziplock! The CACHE is also well stocked with goodies for the kids.

 There is also some recent beaver activity at  N35 48.331 W078 43.568.
