Start out by crossing the bridge and heading up the hill, from there you are on your own. Happy caching.
The cache is located in a traditional ammo can, off the meadow. We left a log book to sign and date and a special prize for the FTF. Also initial items were a wooden Tiddly Winks game, football trading cards, collectable wind-up and the RickAnn Signature piece. Two travel bugs and a Geocoin were also in the container. Travel Bugs may also come and go on occasion. Please limit swaps to good trade items. This is an easy walk through the woods and the fields. Enjoy the many trails in the area. Have fun.
Activities
Hiking, birding & nature study, cross country skiing & snowshoeing, fishing, canoeing.
If you should find a travel bug in this cache or any other cache, please be sure to log it electronically twice, once when you grab it and again when you put it in another cache. This must be done so that its travels can be tracked. You must be a signed on member to do this. If you are not a signed on member of geocaching.com and do not intend to become a member, please do not take the travel bug. Membership is free. Join up and get in on the fun.
Please use caution when hunting and replacing this cache. A muggled cache could lead to lost Bugs or coins. Be wary of your surroundings.
Congrats to Travishuman for the FTF.
