Geocache Description:

Drive into the area on a small paved road. Park almost immediately, then walk and enjoy a small piece of land with interesting features.

Cache is about 25 feet off the road, into some woods and features. Only a bit of bushwhacking is needed, but it's mostly light scrambling over some rocks and hills. Young ones should find it fun to explore and search. Across the road from the cache site, there are more rock features to climb and explore, too. The cache name comes from a particular feature that is easily noticed from the road. It's interesting to discover the answer, too. Nothing like being caught between a rock and a hard place!

Only one house is on this road, until you get to the other end, where you'll find a couple of houses and a business. The southern end is quiet and pretty. We love to walk our dog along here, and before the winter of 2011-2012, we found a trailhead at N43 25.796 W71 27.856. The trail became steep after about 30 minutes of hiking, but before that, it was gentle and pretty.

We had to do some CITO activity in this area before publishing the cache. In the winter, we never noticed all the bottles in the woods. But when getting our GZ coordinates, we were sad to find so much trash. As of the placement date, we really tried to pick up everything we saw. We hope these pretty woods will be kept clean!

A gift certificate for Jordan's Ice Cream for the FTF. Jordan's is just north of the cache along 106. Didn't get coords, though!

Congrats to Team Yianni for FTF on Friday 4/13/12 at 8am sharp.
