Access is best from Cemetery Lane - turn off RT 404 at mile 7.5 and
proceed north onto Cemetery Lane to its end at N38 55.559', W075
56.644'.
Allow about two hours for this cache. Total distance is around
3.75 miles depending on the routes you pick (decisions,
decisions).
NOTE WELL: Stage ONE is located in a flood plain for the
Tuckahoe Creek. Depending on the time of year and the amount of
rain/snow melt, you may find the entire area under water or at
least VERY mucky & muddy going. (The actual stage ONE is high
enough to remain safely above flood level.)
Depending on your route, you will most certainly have to cross
water and you may have to improvise in a few places to keep your
feet dry. You may encounter a substantial amount of mud. Your main
challenges will be occasional access issues at Stage ONE and the
overall distance in & out.
Note that there is seasonal deer hunting in this area. Check
online for season information and ALWAYS wear some blaze orange to
be safe.

Please use care to close the container tightly, and re-hide
well.
This could be a good cache for the kids to tag along, provided
they love to cache (long walk) and are not afraid of a little mud
-- Enjoy a nice long hike in a beautiful area. CACHE IS STATE PARK
APPROVED - PLACED WITH PERMISSION FROM PARK MANAGER.
