N 44 0A.BCD W 088 2E.FGH

rut
noun
a settled and monotonous routine that is hard to escape; "they fell into a geocaching rut".

I'm in a rut
That I don't want to be in
I wanna break the chains
I wanna smash those chains
Those chains that I've around my brains

And I would do it but
I would do it but
I can't 'cause I'm in a rut
I'm in a rut

I've had enough
Of the same stuff over and
Over and over and over
I'm in a rut

To find this puzzle cache you will need to find all of following I'm in a rut caches along the Bill Miller Trail:
Rocky Start
Forevergreen
Needled
Nite Lite
It's Under There

In each cache is a clue corresponding to the clue letter on each cache page.

Also along the trail between these caches you will need to find the following clues:
- Earl & Nancy's bench: 26 Sept XYFZ
- Bench with a message about plantings. G = (# of trees - 24)
- An electrical substation: According to the sign this substation is owned by this company: # of letters = JK. H = J + K

Walking the entire trail and the return trip to where you parked is about a 1.6 mile hike. The final is within biking/driving distance of the other caches in the series.

Additional instructions to find the cache:

The initial cache container was hidden in a rut. However, one day while revisiting my cache a squirrel was sitting in the rut with the container dangling from his mouth! I startled him and he ran down the tree and made a bee line zipping past me in a straight line North of the rut. He hopped up onto the fence and ran down the fence and jumped. I tracked him down about 80ft from the intial cache coords but I just couldn't find the container. Can you help me find the container?

Bring your own pen to sign the log. There is a small amount of room in the container for trackables and small swag. Please return the cache to where the squirrel hid it. It's a much better spot than in that old rut anyway!
