This cache is located in Reifsnider State Forest in Warren County. Try to bring an item that can be used on the trail or in camp.
Please note that the MAPBLAST map makes it appear that you can get to the area from the Northwest. The road is blocked from that direction. You must turn South on Schuetzenground Rd. from State Highway M. Continue South until you see the Reifsnider State Forest Sign on the right to enter the area.
If you park at N038 47.102 W091 06.863 the area is a natural. There is a well-defined path on what appears to be an old road. Don't let the side trails lead you astray. You have to hike about a half-mile. Follow the trail beyond the point where your GPS tells you to turn up the hill. The hundred yards of bushwhacking will be somewhat easier if you do. You do not need to fight your way through the deadfalls.
Remember that the cache is on public land. Do not cross any fences. The weeds are high in places, but the bugs are not too bad. The water is high at times, but not often or for long. Hunters are in the area during deer season in mid-November. This area is beautiful in the fall. You might enjoy a picnic at the cache site.
We put a camera in the cache. Please take a picture of yourself to be posted later.
Update: I just returned from our cache. It is now restocked with goodies. There is not a camera in the cache at this time but it will be replaced. (08-06-04)
Have fun.
