This is the final cache in a series of caches in a beautiful, unique, and under-utilized section of Newaygo County.
The Coolbough Natural Area is a 400 acre preserve managed by The Nature Conservancy and the Coolbough Natural Areas Environmental Commission. The diversity of habitats is one of the features of the Coolbough Natural Areas that makes any visit an exciting trip. Visitors have the chance to explore ponds and wetlands, hike through white pine and white oak forest, search for butterflies and wildflowers on prairie and barrens remnants, and listen to the bubbling waters of Bigelow and Coolbough Creeks. While you are probably most interested in the caches, don’t forget to look up from your gpsr to take in the beauty of this place! The trails are not perfectly marked, so remember to mark your car so you can find your way back should you become disoriented! Also, hunting is permitted so be prepared or simply avoid the area during deer season! You will need to "up" the terrain rating if you are completing all caches in this series at one time. The round trip hike is approximately 2 miles of rolling terrain. The listed coordinates above will not get you to this cache. They are actually the parking coordinates for this and all the other caches in the series. To find this cache you will need to visit the other six caches in “The Colorful Caches of Coolbough” series. In each of these caches you will find a colored letter, which you will need to take note of in order to figure out the coordinates for this bonus cache. Use the key below to determine the correct coordinates. Once you figure out this puzzle, the coordinates will bring you to a red marker. Follow Roy G. Biv to the final cache!!
