Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden, with permission, in one of our favorite areas for enjoying the great outdoors, Martin Dies State Park! You'll find that this is a great place for camping, fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, and/or just relaxing.

We decided to go ahead and make this one a pretty straightforward multicache that'll take you on a nice little walk into the woods. It's typical in that each stage contains coordinates which are needed before you can proceed to the next. The hike is close to a mile roundtrip but the trails are well maintained, mostly flat, and therefore shouldn't be too difficult for most. Not going to give too much information here (the encrypted hints below give more) but we will tell you that the containers and hiding techniques vary from stage to stage, and that a couple of the stages can be somewhat challenging to find. The good news is that the final is regular in size and big enough to accomodate trade items and travel bugs.

As with any trek out into the woods, be aware that you may encounter a variety of wildlife which might include some of the creepier species such as spiders and snakes. Although this is a short hike, it might not hurt to bring water, your hiking stick, and of course, bug spray. You never know what you might see out on the trail, so don't forget your camera too!

Goodluck!!!

Hints below pertain to each stage and are in order.
