Filled with back-to-school items for students, this gallon-size green jar will require some bushwhacking to locate.
This may be the first cache you locate on the Hanson Farm Trails. Take Slippery Hill Trail (mostly slippery in winter, otherwise not bad) Some bushwhacking will be required to arrive at ground zero. Originally placed in mid-August before the start of the school year, it's filled with goodies to add to school supplies and remind a student of the fun of caching. As with my other themed caches, you don't need to swap 'in kind'; whatever swag you leave is fine!
This is part of a second group of five caches to balance out the caches on the Hanson Farm trails. There's plenty of year-round parking at McDougal's Orchard on Hanson's Ridge Rd. You can enter the trail system by going through the red gates and bearing right onto one of the trails.
PLEASE NOTE: The CLOSED sign is for the Orchard business ONLY. DOGS are not allowed within the confines of the actual orchards (surrounded by electric fence to keep the deer out). Animals are only present along the beginning of the Sheep Pasture Trail when the orchard business is open late summer & fall. It is perfectly fine to walk your leashed dog right past this section (issues have arisen with dogs hanging out there and pestering the animals, walking on through is not an issue) or take the Slippery Hill Trail which on the right before the Sheep Pasture Trail.
As with my other caches, there is either a first, second, or third to find prize - not telling which!! Once the cache has been found three times, it's fine to mention the prize. Please count each of the following situations as a single find: caching alone; caching in a group; joining another cacher who arrived before you did, but who hasn't found it. As for coming upon a cacher who's already found it, please use your own discretion. Have fun!
