The starting coordinates are the bottom of the rivulet, where the satellite reception is okay. Follow the rivulet up the hill to where it springs from the hill. It's a 37 ft elevation gain over the 200 ft. This section is a fairly easy climb, but difficult in a few places.
You'll find the fractional minutes of the final cache location within fifteen feet further up the hill from the grate farthest up the hill. It is punched on a small piece of aluminum where it should stand out to a geocacher.
The route to the second stage is where the steep climb comes. It is only about ten feet vertically, but up a hill instead of a tree. However, with the leaves on the trees, satellite reception is quite spotty. This is most of the reason for the "overall difficulty". Be patient, you'll find it.
The cache is a pill bottle. Please reseal the cache tightly and replace it in its hiding place as it was.
Original contents of this version of the cache are:
- Log book, pen, pencil and sharpener (to remain in cache)
- Beary Luv 2 Travel travel bug
- Pastel blue and white plush penguin
- Bean-filled cow
- Plush dolphin
- Where's George $1
- General small trade items
Cache last moved on 29 June 2005. It's off of the beaten path so it should stay safe longer. The coordinates at the top of the rivulet have been updated accordingly.
2023 May 2: They have piped the rivulet, so the gully is dry, but you can see the rivulet at both ends.
