Geocache Description:

It was originally a 35 mm film canister from The Last Day of Summer (GC15FK0) near the Tipp City bike path. It's still near the bike path but the container changed slightly. (But it's about the same size.)

I parked in the public parking lot near GCZV02 and walked up. There is closer parking but it's a very nice walk. (And if you haven't done that one, this is like a two-fer.) If you haven't gone for this cache's parent, you should do that one. It's a real one...very real. (And there's another micro spawned from that one in the same park, so you get another two-fer.) There's no writing utensil in the cache. But there's an Evil Micro pin for the FTF/whoever wants it.

The bike path closes when the infernal ball of heat goes away.

The cache is again positioned so that it needs some coverage. Please replace said coverage or give it some if it didn't have any.

The biggest challenge here may be that the cache is in an area very hostile to the global positioning system and receiving devices that use it, especially during the foliated season. Here's some advice hopefully useful for mitigating that.

Your GPS receiver should point to where the cache is from the bike trail. You may want to pay more attention to that information than to what happens as you approach The Spot.

And the foliation may be a tad hostile to YOU during the foliated season. (Things have been been recently cleaned up but watch out for stuff trying to grab your feet.)

Don't go into the woods (on the upper level).

Unless you need to cross the creek (and moisture ever starts falling from the sky with any regularity), stay away from the bridge. (They're evil.)

Don't climb any walls.

Please put things back as you found them. (Think about what would keep the cache in place and out of view and what wouldn't.)
