PLEASE READ ENTIRE CACHE DESCRIPTION BEFORE LOOKING FOR THIS CACHE. WE HAVE BEEN GRANTED SPECIAL PERMISSION TO HUNT FOR THIS CACHE BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF COLUMBIA COUNTY AND NEED TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED! THANK YOU! DO NOT HUNT THIS CACHE AFTER DARK. THERE ARE DESIGNATED PARKING SPACES AT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. PARK ONLY IN THESE DESIGNATED PARKING SPACES AND DO NOT PARK IN SPACES ASSIGNED TO THOSE WHO ARE EMPLOYED THERE. DO NOT PARK ON THE SIDE OF ANY ROAD TO ACCESS THESE STAGES.
This cache will be a multi-stage cache. The first stage of the cache is located at the Walnut Grove One Room School House located on Columbia County Board of Education property. The second stage of this multi is located within walking distance and we ask that you please be mindful of all around you while hunting for this cache.
STAGE 1: Do not step on any shrubbery, pull on any doors, windows, etc. You will not have to walk up the steps to get to this cache. Please do not harm the building in any way. This is critical to our being able to leave this cache in this location. Any destruction whatsoever and the cache will have to be removed. Let's show how mindful we are of our environment, etc., while hunting this cache.
STAGE 2: Coordinates to Stage 2 will be in the container located at Stage 1. Stage 2 is within walking distance of Stage 1. You will see a designated walk path when approaching Stage 2. The cache will be within sight of one of the adjacent roads, however, do not attempt to obtain Stage 1 or Stage 2 of this cache by parking on the side of the road. This is a location that truly depicts the name of this cache - Hands of Time. Also, when signing this log do not remove the piece attached to the top of the cache. This is to remain with the cache as it is significant to the name of this second stage.
MOST IMPORTANTLY WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK CHARLES NAGLE FOR APPROVING OUR PLACING THIS CACHE AT THIS LOCATION AND ALSO A SPECIAL THANKS TO ONE OF OUR VERY OWN GEOCACHERS "RECONGA" FOR BEING LIASON BETWEEN US AND THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IN THE PLACEMENT OF WHAT WE THINK WILL BE A MEMORABLE CACHE.
Again, all please remember we have been granted special permission to place this cache. Also, there are picnic tables at this location if you would like to sit a spell and comtemplate about the hands of time and have a quick snack.
One other important note: We take quite a bit of time trying to ensure that our coords are usually pretty acquerate, however, we cannot quarantee the accuracy that we usually seem to achieve. We did have some issues today as some of this area has heavy tree cover. This is why we have provided some hints for this one. We do not necessarily want this to be a difficult find but more to show the difference that time makes.
A HUGE CONGRATS TO RIDGERUNNERZ FOR BEING FTF. HOW EXCITING ABOUT SEEING A FOX AS WELL. GREAT JOB GUYS!!
