Geocache Description:

A recent flury of hides in this park dictates that I publish this previously-placed, single-offset geocache, less I risk relocating all of the principle elements to accomodate the 528 foot rule. Seekers will realize the difficulty of such a task upon initiating this hunt.
Loc-N-Loc w/log, pen, Corixid $, lotto, 'stuff' and a T.B. awaits FTF.

Our day-to-day existence, our routines, our heroes … Our LIFE ! It’s all about choices…
and you may get caught between a rock and a hard place more often than you care to.

YES…or NO ?
UP…or DOWN ?
Buy….or SELL ?

Corixid’s applying it to geocaching now.
"Do I attempt a *#@!&~ ‘Puzzle’ cache... (or multi, or whatever ) ?"
"Can I believe the coordinates ?"
"Will I regret crossing the state line ?"

Choices !... Life’s full of ‘em .
Do you sound the charge, and just go 4 it relying strictly upon your instincts ?
Or… Do you take the extra step to ‘Zero In’ upon the 'Between a Rock and a Hard Place’ Corixid hide?

The posted coordinates will place you between a rock and a ‘high’ place.
While standing there you must decide...
"Do I walk a 24.2 degree bearing until I get to a ‘Best Guess’ G.Z." ( recalling Corixid quirks )
OR…. "Do I walk a 204.0 degree bearing and factor the derived ‘Peak’ altitude into a sure thing ?"
Choices !

If you select to climb ‘BugMan's Mountain’, subtract it’s summit altitude from N 41 56 .585 (in the form .XXX)
And ADD that same altitude to W 083 59 .210( in the form .XXX )
Regardless of your choice… You WILL find yourself...
Between a Rock and a Hard Place... once again.

Attributes do not offer “ Nose-Bleed”, “ Oxygen Req’d”, or “Thin Atmosphere” warnings….
So proceed on a safe ‘Personal Comfort’ course.

And above all….
Have some fun !

Terrain rating will vary due to the Choice one makes.

ALWAYs be aware of the possible presence of poison ivy while seeking ANY cache in the wild.
