Geocache Description:


Who knows what types of things...unmentionable "things" that roam these woods at night.

To find this cache you must face your own fears of the dark. In this case it is the darkness that hides the secrets that you will be seeking and it is only in the darkness that your path will be revealed.
There are tales of a phantom horseman who rides these trails in the night always searching for something he has lost.Some say it is a treasure stashed away only to be forgotten.
Beware travellers along this road if you should hear the hoofbeats of the horseman's steed or see his tracks upon the trail, for he seeks that which he lost so many ages ago. The horseman will continue to roam these trails until he finds that which he is looking for. So come dusk he occasionally rides these trails in hopes of stumbling across that sacred box that had been hidden long ago.

Start your quest by going to the listed coords after the light of the sun has vanquished. Shine a light around until you see a relecting light that will guide your way.Approach the source of the reflection and shine your light around looking for your the next reflector. Keep following the reflectors. Do NOT cross the wooden bridge;you should find a reflector directing you off the trail before you get to the bridge. The woods are pretty thick but the path is marked with white reflectors going in and by brownish red reflectors that will guide you back to the trail and back to the parking lot.The actual cache location is marked by 3 white reflectors .It is hidden in a pretty secure location that will not be easily spotted by any curious muggles.
You are looking for a medium sized lock-n-lock container. The grass/weeds along this trail gets a little grownup so long pants are recommended. This first section of this trail is low laying and stays soggy and muddy in a few places for several days after a hard rain. Wear footwear accordingly.
