Geocache Description:

If it has been dry for awhile (as it is so much here in Texas), you will no doubt stay dry as you go for this geocache. However, if it has been raining a lot, you will probably get your feet wet - unless you "pole vault". From a certain approach, even if it has rained heavily, you can get there, and keep your feet dry, by using a big stick and vaulting over.

This is a multi-staged geocache in a great location. More or less in the center of the metroplex. It is smack dab in the middle of Urbania, yet it offers a significant hike in nature, granted with a little traffic hum in the distance and tons of beer cans strewn about. By the way, it appears that more beer is consumed in this area than anywhere else within a 50 mile radius.

Although you will have to actually move your feet a little bit, this multi-staged geocache is simple and straightforward, once you get to the stages. There are just two stages - both are easy to find.

The first stage is a silver bison tube located at the posted coordinates, and it will provide the numbers you need to find the final stage. You can read the numbers through the inner container, so please do not open the inner container. This first stage is placed so that it can be removed from the branch to allow easy access to the numbers. Please make sure that you replace the container so that it will remain in place. In other words, please wrap the flexible wire around the branch so that it will stay put in harsh weather.

The second (final) stage is an ammo can. It is located in the woods, not very far away from the first stage, among a bunch of fallen trees and dead wood. An encrypted hint is being provided to help you out here in case you have trouble.

Have fun.
