Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates
Introduction After spending a lot of time looking at Cool Cache Containers in the Geocaching forums, I was inspired to create a cache series I call Escape From Tradition. This is a series of four caches, a micro, a small and a regular size cache all containing information to let you find the fourth Bonus Mystery cache. While the first three are considered traditional caches, they are far from traditional. I tried to come up with some unique and creative ways to hide caches. While I am sure there are some caches that have been hidden in a similar way, I have never seen anything quite like these. You are not going to find these caches by looking under piles of sticks. I do however want people to be able to find them so I will give hints that should allow a sharp eyed cache seeker to find the prize. Also, this is a Wildlife Management Area where hunting is allowed so please be safe and wear orange while in the area.
The Cache This is the final Bonus Mystery cache in my Escape From Tradition series. If you were able to find the first three in the series then you have the information to locate this cache. After leaving the third cache of the series, continue following the blue blazed trail. The trail gets hard to find and eventually you will just have to bushwack your way to the cache. Along the way be sure to check out the art work of some local woodcarvers. The container is a .30 cal. ammo can. There are some trade items to start and a prize for the first to find (you will earn it). Please trade even or trade up. Please replace everything as you found it so the next cachers can enjoy the hunt as much as you did.
To find the location of this cache use the information you found in the three Escape From Tradition caches to fill in the numbers below
