Geocache Description:

Located at the Sun, Wind, And Woodland Preserve Nature Sanctuary by the Canton Land Trust Conservation on Breezy Hill Road in Canton, CT. No camping, hunting, or fires allowed.

A fun milestone adventure for the whole family! This cache has been lost and only the local critters can help you find it. Your first mission is to find "Spike" at the listed coords. He will help you start your journey along these beautiful paths.

This cache is a tribute to some of my favorite multi-caches like "It Aint Natural", "Do This Cache!" and of course "I Toad You I Gnome What I'm Talkin Bout".

This cache has taken months to complete, and my original ideas and coords had to be tossed after another cache was posted here around the same time. 

After finding the 5th stage {the racoon "Bandit"}, the trail will lead you across the street to the last stage and final of "Woodland Creatures". After the final, you can follow the yellow blazed trail back to parking and grab the bonus caches. Dont forget to grab the coords for these extra special caches!! They're on the lid of the final.

Most of the helpful creatures can be found a few feet from the trail, so minimal bushwacking is required. The difficulty level is set high because of the amount of stages, the not-so-obvious hides, and the challenging final. Coords werent always perfect, but stages should be within a 30ft. radius. If you get better coords for any of em, please email them to me directly, and do not post them into your log, not even encrypted.

Final is a large camoed lock-n-lock. Please re-hide it exactly as you found it, or better if possible!

FTF prize: Free ice cream at Stew Lenoard's! STF prize: a free cup of Green Mountain coffee. Extra special thanx to meestermole for introducing me to another great trail!! Have fun!
