This cache has been archived.

Doctor Livingstone: Muggles strike again. This one is now archived for good. FYI, the second half of this cache pointed to the co-ordinates of Chantal's Cave. You can find the co-ordinates by going to www.doctorlivingstone.info and look for my caves listing.

Geocache Description:

Finding part one is the easy part. Part two, well, that's the real adventure.

When in Upham, take the Back River Rd. It will eventually turn to a dirt road, then more of a woods road (a bit rough in spots and definitely not a winter or early spring trip). You should find the cache with the instructions for part two easily. Just look for the old rotted wood pile to the side of the road. You can do your normal exchange of goodies at this cache. Now borrow one of the direction cards for Part Two to be returned to the cache later. Find a place to park your vehicle off the road (this road is used by a number of camps etc..) and head off on your journey.

Part two is about a 2.5km hike both ways, mostly on woods roads but includes a bit of bushwacking.

Your goal will be to find the surprise and email me with what you found to 'fully' claim this cache. DON'T REVEAL THE ANSWER TO PART TWO IN YOUR POSTING. YOU MUST EMAIL ME PRIOR TO POSTING.

Have fun!!!

NOTE: The SURPRISE is NOT a tree but a natural wonder. Stick to the brook as the co-ordinates are not bang on due to the surrounding terrain. Best of luck.
