Geocache Description:


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.

HIKERS PERMITTED


A= # of letters in 2nd word top line
B= # of times the letter "R" 's in 2nd word top line
C= # of letters in the last word on the second line
D= # of times the letter "T" 's in the last word on the second line
E= # of letters in the last word on the second line
F= # of vowels in the first word on the top line

Start your trek to Stop #2 using the trailhead below - just south of where you are now. You MIGHT be able to get to Stop #2 going up the road, but the trail "will make all the difference"!

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:
There is a small sign here with a phone # on it to call for more information on the area: (It's such a small fenced in area you could ask what plants are in there they don't want the deer to eat!)

Phone # :ABC-72FG

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

Stop #3 : Yellow Sign Post

On this sign there are two phone #'s

OH: ABC-DEFG
KY: QRS-TUVW

The FINAL is at: N 16.ARB W 24.VTF

FINAL

HINT BASICALLY STAY ON THE SAME TRAIL YOU ARE ONE AND GO DUE SOUTH UNTIL THE TRAIL ENDS. ONCE THERE YOU WILL NOTICE A STANDARD HIDING SPOT.
