Geocache Description:



This series was designed for Geocachers who are nostalgic for an "Old Fashioned Hike in the Woods".

This cache and the easily found 5 associated caches will take you through a 4 mile loop hike of the southern section of the South Mountain Reservation. EXPLICIT HINTS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE HIDE AT EACH STAGE; the emphasis being on the Hike, not on the hides! The last Cache in the Series (SMR #6) is a Puzzle Cache near where you parked your car (N 40° 43. A B C, W 074° 18. D E F) . It contains Large SMR - A 4 Mile Loop Hike GeoPins. "A & B" are in this Cache (SMR # 1), "C & D" are in SMR # 4 (Click for The Southern SMR #4- a 4 Mile Loop Hike) and "E & F" are in SMR #5 (Click for The Southern SMR #5- a 4 Mile Loop Hike.

This cache (The Southern SMR #1), is a Decon container holding a log, pencils and stuff. The hike begins at the Locust Grove parking area; see the Waypoints section for the coordinates.

Please make certain the Top of the Decon Container is closed completely and Snapped Shut at all 4 corners!

The hike will allow you to experience many of the features that make the SMR a special place.
