Geocache Description:


In this three-stage multi-cache you will seek tags at the first two stages. These tags will lead you to a small container (not a Small, but a larger-ish Micro) at the final.

This cache was originally devised so that the terrain at each stage became increasingly challenging: You would stroll casually on a paved path until you are near the first stage; the trail to the second stage was just a game trail; and there was a bit of off-trail work to be done to get to the final. There is still some truth to that, but changes in the undergrowth over time mean things may be different than they used to be.

The first stage is picturesque and has some interesting "archeology" in the form of refuse, though it may not be very visible in the height of summer.

At each of the first two stages, you seek aluminum tags. These tags have two numbers: one on top and one on bottom. The top number replaces the decimal part of the latitude minutes while the bottom number replaces the decimal part of the longitude minutes.

So for example, let us suppose that the tag at the first stage looked like this:
then the second stage would be at N 42 12.121, W 88 16.262

20180825: Brought description up to date. Given the D3 rating, removed hint. Added temporary note about adjusting the numbers from the S1 tag.
20200110: S1's tag is now correct, so I removed the note re adjusting the old tag's incorrect values.
20210401: Final is now a Micro.
20240223: Updated statement in the description about container size.
