Geocache Description:


This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates! It is a night cache which starts just off ASP 2. This hunt starts at N. 42.01.880 / W 078.43.361.

Doubled tacks show a change in direction, though NEVER to turn completely around. The tacks behind you lead you out. You will follow an abandoned road which will lead you along a creek. You will NOT cross the creek, tho’ you will cross several wet spots, one of which has a board/ bridge to cross (there are stakes with reflective tape on them next to the board). This cache hunt should be done with appropriate shoes. No flipflops or sandles!

All night caches share the same equipment requirement: a good flashlight. A strong LED flashlight (Maglight makes a nice product) with fresh batteries and maybe some to spare in your pocket is recommended. Holding the flashlight at eye level so that you get the maximum “back flash” from the reflectors is the best technique – most firetacks and reflectors are made to directly reflect light. If you hold your flashlight too low, you will not benefit from the reflection coming back at you, or the tacks will appear dim.

Nighttime cache hunts are by their nature slower and more watchful hunts than daytime ones. Please hike carefully and mindful of obstacles that in the daytime would be easily identified: logs, stones, dead branches and uneven terrain. This cache was designed to be a night cache. Please don’t spoil the fun for yourself by hunting in the daytime.

This is a small container which holds the logbook and has space for limited swag. There will be swag stocked in it. Please trade fair!
