This is a progressively more difficult multicache, and is probably not for those under 10 years of age--cache placer is 11 years old.
This is my first cache, but I had a lot of help. This is a 3-stage multicache, with the first 2 stages on relatively easy terrain. For stage one, go to the listed coordinates, and "think postal." For the second stage, either go to the Broken Arrow Campground (initials: B.A.C), if it be open/occupied, by Larry or Geri, or, go to the coordinates listed in the stage 1 cache. For the final stage, you better put your bushwacking gear on, because eventhough it is only a short distance from stage 2, there is a sharp rise in elevation/terrain, of between 200 and 300 feet, and the final stage is a red, 3 pound plastic coffee can, that is well-hidden, but can just barely be seen, through the rocks & pine needles. Please re-hide the cache the way that you found it. PrincessMPM & her Dad, craig57104 found this cache, initially, without GPS or coordinates (the third to find), but then, it wasn't as well hidden/stocked. You can just barely spot it, the way that it is. Contact either princessmpm, or, craig57104, if you need more help finding the cache (we have pictures). The final cache container has a FTF pin, & lots of goodies, to reward you for your hike. There may even be a TB there, &, it would make a good TB hotel, because the chance of this cache being "muggled" are pretty slight. This cache should probably not be attempted, if it be wet out (rain or snow), because it may be too slippery--use your judgment, but be forewarned.
Be forewarned: getting there is only half the challenge: getting back to civilization may be a challenge--you may wish to enable your trip feature of your GPS, because it is very easy to get lost, coming down from the ridge (we got lost, several times, &, we were fairly familiar with the surroundings).
Special thanks to Larry & Geri Gustafson, for all their help, &, continued support, with this project, &, geocaching in general: Mary has their permission to place this cache, &, Geri is helping with watching it for/with us.
No special gear is necessary to find this cache, other than a GPS.
