Geocache Description:

Will need to bushwhack ~250 ft to get to this cache. Cache is in a very unique tree (see hint)

This cache is part of my Alphabet Series. Usually there will be 4 or 5 caches in a given location. One cache is a Mystery cache and the others are traditional. One does the traditional caches first and gathers the information to find the Mystery cache. Each cache contains a number that should be recorded. This cache is part of the third series of Alphabet Caches. These series contains four caches: J, K, L, and M. All four caches are in the same park. You should plan on hiking less than 2 miles to get all 4 caches. The suggested parking area for all 4 caches is N 39 08.789 by W 76 52.857 which is the parking lot in the park. There are a maze of trails and animal trails running through the park. The trick is to minimize the bushwhacking. If done properly, one needs to bushwhack ~50ft to J, ~250ft to K, ~15ft to L, and ~5ft to M Container is ~3 inches in diameter and a little less than this in height. Will need to bushwhack ~150 ft and cross a 2 ft wide stream to get this cache. Congratulations to Ferretpack for FTF. There are presently (as of March 8, 2009) 13 Alphabet caches placed and Ferretpack has been FTF on all 13! The question is will the streak be maintained?
