Stage 1: (at
listed coordinates) There's a trail right here, you don't even have
to leave it. Just heed the advice, and watch for falling trees. You
are looking for a very small tube with the coords to the
Final.
Stage 2:
(Final) Do I have to tell you again? Watch for falling trees...and
I mean it! If the trees have not all fallen yet, and the canopy is
playing havoc with your GPSr, don't worry. Just stay on the trail,
and pay attention. The clues will point you in the right
direction

Maintenance notes: (most current at top)
Mar 4, 2010 - Didn't see the Stage 1 tiny tag overhead. If you
don't find the tube right by the trail, there is another one about
15' to the left of the trail. Final was in place and dry.
May 8, 2009 - More falling trees, including the limb that held
Stage 1. I wedged a new Stage 1 where the previous one had been,
and moved the limb to the side of the trail. I also lodged another
tag in the same fashion as the fallen one, still right in the
middle of the trail. If you're not careful it will hit you in the
head. In case both of those go missing, I placed a third tag about
15 feet off the trail, in a place where a large limb had broken
off. So the S1 clue takes on additional meaning. "gotcha covered"
Please replace tags snugly and covertly.
Oct 17, 2008 - I replaced both stages of the cache today, which
had been washed away by last months flood. Both stages should
withstand the next flood. The cache is in a 3 inch pill container
with a 1.25 inch diameter, big enough only for micro coins, pins,
rings and such. Stage 1 is in the same locale, but a new hiding
spot. There is no container, just a tag with the coords for the
final. If you can't locate Stage 1, or the coords have become
illegible, you can still find the cache if you handle this as a
letterbox. The descriptions and the hints should lead you to the
cache. They are more reliable than coords under a dense canopy.
Aug 6, 2008 - I replaced the cache today with a similar sized
container and new log sheet. The cache was not in the "new" spot
where I rehid it five months ago, and I am leaving it now in its
original (almost) spot, and changing the hint back to what it was.
At Stage 1 I placed yet another container with final coords inside.
That makes three. You only need to find one, but if you see any of
them exposed, please re-cover. Please replace both stages as you
found them.
Mar 8, 2008 - The original cache was muggled. The final has been
moved a few feet away. Use all the clues and hint below and it
should be easy.
