Geocache Description:


This is one of three caches along the Calloway Creek Trail in McDonald Forest:

Calloway Creek Trail (GC1NXG1)
Calloway Creek (GC1NXG2)
Calloway Creek Bonus (GC1NXG3)

The total round-trip hike for all three caches is approximately 1.5 miles.

In order to find the bonus cache, look for and use the coordinates written in blue ink upon the inside of the other two cache lids.

You are looking for a plastic Lock-and-Lock container. Although I left a pen, it has gone missing so please bring your own writing instrument. There is room for SMALL trackables and trading items. After you have signed the log, please make sure that the lid is tightly snapped shut, and hide the container as well (or better) than how you found it. Watch out for muggles... this can be a very busy trail.

Although I did my best to ensure the accuracy of these coordinates, you may experience some drift due to tree cover. There is no need to leave the trail to retrieve the container. NO BUSHWHACKING IS REQUIRED!

Poison Oak Note: There are several small patches of this vile plant on both sides of the object housing the cache, which is why I have added the "poison plants" attribute. However, and fortunately, there is none inside said object next to the container, so it should be very easy for you to avoid. (If you are not sure how to identify poison oak, look here.)

*** IMPORTANT *** This cache has been placed with the express permission of the McDonald Forest Recreation Manager. This area is open from dawn to dusk. Refer to the parking waypoint for the best spot to begin your trek. If you are not familiar with this area, walk up the gravel road approximately 0.4 mile and turn left onto the trail. Bikes are allowed on the road year-round, but are only permitted on this trail between April 15th and October 31st.
