Geocache Description:



The cache is not at the listed coordinates They are for Facing Rock benchmark, if you are interested in looking for the benchmark or just enjoying the view.


Introduction:
Facing Rock Wildlife Management area was home to the now archived Face Off multi cache. Face Off was one of the first caches I found. It was on a humid 90+ degree August day. A nearly 4 mile hike for 1 smiley. The good news is you can now try for 3 smileys, the bad news is it's still a long tough hike.

The Series:
This is one of three caches I am placing in Facing Rock WMA in Ludlow. To find this cache you must first find Face The Nation and Face The Music. Each of these caches contain one half of the coordinates to locate this cache.

IMPORTANT

The coordinates at each of these caches are in the same coded format as the coordinates for their respective cache. You will have to decode these at each location. Whatever you needed to solve the puzzles for each of those caches you will need in the field to get the coordinates for this cache


The Cache:
This cache will require a long hike, finding two other caches along the way and solving puzzles to get the final coordinates. My tracklog for the round trip was over three and a half miles. There are many trails in the area but the placement of the caches should direct you to the best route. All three caches are a short distance off of well defined trails, no need for any bushwacking. The cache is a 9 x 6 x 3 lock and lock type container. Please trade up or trade even. Please do not post any information about how you solved the puzzle or the location of any of the caches in your log
