Geocache Description:

Due to tragic circumstances I've never been able to get the info about "why" gpsr's have trouble in here. Apparently there is a "motherlode of iron pyrite" under this area which makes the gspr go hinky. Allow your gpsr to settle down or you'll be lead astray. If your gpsr tries to lead you into water, don't go. NO BUSHWACKING, digging required. In your search, replace any object you move to look under. Leave no sign of your visit but footprints...for the next seeker's enjoyment. I Thank you.

The bridge near the cache site is the beginning of the Trillium Loop Trail. The Trillium Trail shows it's splendours in Spring- many wildflowers bloom in here. After you have your Find, have a stroll on the Trail and and see some of the oldest Douglas-fir trees still left.

This cache is not placed in an environmentally sensitive area. To guarantee no trampling in this Trail site I have brought you to the start of it, a place where folk meet up,a high traffic area- so there are muggles.
Container is a camo'd 1L L&L. When you get to the area, stop looking at your gpsr as many caches under forest canopy require and Stop and Use your Eyes. For those of you who read the logs before you go out, note how many cachers state it isn't that hard if one thinks like a cacher. That thinking it is hard, makes it hard.
Even though it's been archived a few months, The small TRAIL TO IT IS THERE,(as it's always been) made by the muggles who use the area. Please Stick to already made trail.
I would ask those who've found it, to NOT give Hints. It is a Difficulty 4 cache and so isn't usually found easily. I would ask seekers to EARN their smiley the honest way by finding all by yourself and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Please ask those who want hints to e/m the cache owner. Who knows what good fortune may come your way? FTF: the item that may spring out when you open the lid, or, whatever they like, without obligation
