Geocache Description:

Step 5 of the Mountain Home Cacheaholics program.

Idaho Geocachers

Realizing that the caching pandemic has hit Mountain Home full force, we decided that trips to Boise to fullfill the program steps was unacceptable. So we have implemented our own program locally to help you deal with your sickness. Each week we will place another step for you to take on your road to recovery from this terrible obsession.
Step 5 is an introduction to night caching. To pass this step it must be completed after sundown. It can be completed alone but will be much easier and more fun with two or more cachers working together. So bring your flashlights, a compass and lets get started.
Park at the posted coordinates and make your way to the power pole marked 418. You will see what you will be searching for in the middle of the eight.
Standing at 418 you will look west until you see a pair of “eyes” looking back at you. Proceed to the “eyes”. You have just found the first leg and now that you know how it works it will get easier (hopefully).
Now you need to search WSW for the second leg. Proceed there.
Looking SSE should reveal the third leg of your quest.
West is the direction of the fourth leg.
North West will get you to leg number five.
From here search WNW for the sixth leg.
Look WSW and you should find the seventh leg.
Another pair of “eyes” will be looking back at you if you look SSW. These “eyes” are guarding the final of this cache. A short search behind the “eyes” will reveal the treasure that you have traveled out here to find.
Have fun and good luck
