Patches 'n' Pins Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

HercJerkandCo: It's time to deactivate my first and favorite hide. While I love the hiding place for this cache the last couple of years of poison ivy growth has made it impossible for me to maintain and for others to search for during the warm weather months.

Geocache Description:

A series of an offset point and two small caches along my favorite walking trails. A nice hike. BYOP and something to calculate or figure on.

Caches/types in order:
1 - Survey Marker (reference point) Published coordinates are for here.
2 - Evergreen PP - Black Pill Container
3 - Patches 'n' Pins (small lock n lock.

At the Survey Marker take the fine, divide by 1,000 and subtract from the minutes of longitude below to find the location of Stage 2 - "Evergreen PP".

N41 32.430, W082 47.411

There's several ways to get to Hollow Tree. Expect a one-mile walk/ride. I like to walk out to the beach and follow it to the channel - then use your GPSr to get to the cache. If the weather is blustery you can follow either of the trails inside the dune toward the channel. Watch out for poison ivy on all these caches!

The final cache has a supply of military paraphernalia - pins, patches, etc. If you take something please leave something of equal value.

Congratulations to Caveman89 for being the first to find!!!
