Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden in Sam Houston National Forest somewhere along the Lone Star Hiking Trail. Visit http://www.lshtclub.com/MapsPage.htm and click on the Winters Bayou section to get a PDF trail map. The trail map image I've uploaded is a low quality JPG you can print out if you want to.

Parking Lat: 30° 23.591 N Long: 095° 9.498 W

There are two approaches you can take to get started. I suggest parking at the Winters Bayou Scenic Area parking lot off of FM 1725 at 30° 23.591' N & 95° 9.498' W. However, if it is rainy or has been raining this part of the trail can be very muddy. So the alternative is to park at 30° 25.383' N & 95° 8.329' W where the trail crosses FM 945. If you're starting from FM 1725 plan on hiking around in the woods for about 3 hrs so bring plenty of water if it is hot out. Less time if starting from FM 945.

When you retrieve the cache(ammo box) please log in the journal and take a picture of yourself with the disposable camera. The camera is not one of the prizes so please put it back into the cache. Periodically I will develope the pictures ya'll take and post them on this website. Reseal the camera, journal, & prizes in the cache and replace it before you leave. Oh yeah, be sure to listen for the rumble in the jungle.

Please don't list (on the website) the treasures you have put into the cache. That might spoil the excitement of the unknown. However, posting travel bugs or geocoins and saying what you take is perfectly fine.

Here is a list of Travel Bugs that have graced this cache with their presence: Chester The Wild one, selina photo disk, The Marshal, alien in a bottle
