Cache in the shadow of Clear Lake's twin towers.
There are two monstrous antennae a short distance northeast of Clear Lake State Park. These 1,000+ foot twin titans are visible for many, many miles. Visiting this cache will give you a chance to see them up close and personal. WCML's (Central Michigan University's PBS station) tower stands a whopping 1,349 feet tall!
To get to the general vicinity of the cache, turn off of M-33 onto Radio Tower / Millersburg Road. Millersburg Rd. veers north 1/8 mile from the highway, while Radio Tower Rd. continues east and will lead you to the towers. Check them out before turning around and heading about 300 yards back toward the highway. Find a safe and suitable place to park on the side of the road and use the clue to help guide you to the hide.
Cache is a small (1 quart) Lock & Lock-type container with log book, writing utensils and a few small trinkets for trade. Enjoy the cache and the view from its location. It should be particularly nice in the fall.
Addendum: The area where the cache is hidden was cut about 6 or 8 years ago, IIRC. I had driven through while the operation was in full swing. I'm glad to see it is growing up quite nicely. This sticks out in my mind because folks had just cleaned up and re-blazed the High Country Pathway earlier that season. The loggers took some of those blazed trees. I also saw where they'd taken out the sign marking the pathway where it crosses Radio Tower Rd. and I don't believe they replaced it, either. 
My last 3 caches (this one, GC1XC3Z Leg Power to the People and GC1XDMR Morningstar Deer Run) were marked with my new Garmin 60CSx. I used its averaging feature, taking between 25 and 50 samples for each reading. Based on comments from Mary Beth and Cachesauros, it looks like this is working out well.
