A Dam Puzzling Path Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

leigh875: Sadly, we’re going to have to archive this cache. The trail is under construction. The bridge is gone. It’s not the trail it used to be. It's had a good run and I wish we could keep it going. Many thanks to The Macho Homemaker for maintaining this cache for the last several years.

Geocache Description:

Bring your reading glasses and your insect repellent. This multi-stage cache takes you for an educational walk along the Hardy Dam Rustic Nature Trail. The trail is about three miles long round trip if you walk the entire path. There are 8 stages, each not far from the trail. You will need to do some puzzles and find some tricky hides.

Each stage is different, ranging in size and type, with a few puzzlers thrown in. The final is a large green box which shouldn't be too hard to spot but may be hard to open. You can use these parking coordinates to find the trail head parking lot. N 43 29.415 W 085 38.114 Use the following link to read about or print out a brochure about the trail. It would be nice to have it with you on the walk: Hardy Dam Brochure  You can also print out a map with this link: Hardy Dam Nature Trail Map

My gps was very jumpy every time I was on the trail. Please take that into account when you are looking. Anything in an open area should be fairly accurate, but in the woods I would keep getting different readings. Sometimes, it would be spot on and other times it would be off by up to 20-30 feet. Have fun! We enjoyed making it.

Note*** You do not need to climb down any steep hills.
