This is a multi-cache going through little known trails in Sharon Woods (the county park requires entry fee $3/day $5/year). The coordinates above bring you to the first clue. There are developed trails all back through here. This cache only touches a small portion. There is really no bushwacking involved, but the some of the later trails have some undergrowth - you might want long pants. There are no physical caches until the final, all stages are getting coordinates off signs/posts. BYO pencil/pen
NOTE: Areas around the trails are reservable. Please be considerate and not wander into their parties (and mooch snacks!). Also the trail isn't available from Mid-November through Jan 1st. There is another cache along the way - GC2TT9D.
STOP #1 At the coordinates listed above, there is a sign with 3 lines of text.

The sign appears to be gone. So follow the nearby trail east to about N 39 16.625 W 84 24.051. Nearby you will see a small pond and small fenced in area. The secong clue is on the sign on the fence.
Stop #2 is:
N 16.ABC W 24.DEF
Stop #2: Deer Exclusion Area:

Phone # :ABC-72FG
Stop #3 is located at N 16.A(A+B+C)F W 24.(C-1)(G)(A-C)
