Follow the nature trail to a path just before crossing Andy Cove
Branch, your GPS should point the way. Follow this trail about 145
feet and you should be close to a tree that has fallen across the
path. The cache is a 6X9" plastic container with a snap lid located
about 30 feet up off the trail and is covered with leaves and
bark.

Please take a few seconds to be sure the cache lid is snapped on
completely, and make sure that you rehide it well.
