Geocache Description:

This is a fairly easy multi under daylight and normal weather conditions (2/2). If you go during snow, as I hope you will, you may have an Alternate Adventure.

 

Alternate Adventure


Updated 4/1/25:  Here’s something to do on those snowy days when you want to go caching but everything is buried. It’s all above board or at least all above ground and should be doable in anything less than a foot of snow. Coordinates are for stage 1. Park at the suggested location and head west a bit. Trail starts at “gate one” and arcs west.
Each stage has a micro with coords to the next stage and a letter and a number on it. Write them down as you find them and then solve for the final. You must add W.161 to coords at stage 2 to find stage 3.  Due to tree cover, the coordinate accuracy varies . Everything is placed within 15 feet off the trail (most much closer) and visible from it. I hope you will save this one for winter conditions: bonus points for snow, sleet, and below freezing finds. Depending on the amount and type of snow you may need both the clue and some thoughtful consideration to narrow the search possibilities. The Simplicity Three cache is nearby and along the route as is the Multi Mini Coin Cache. When you finish, you can either retrace your steps to the car or walk back on Brick Kiln Road. It’s shorter by the road but there’s a fair amount of traffic. It's about a mile and a quarter for the loop. Enjoy. Be safe out there.

To solve for the final, substitute the number matching the letter at the stage.
