Geocache Description:

A revised version of Momima and Karma123's Here Comes the Sun. But as this was placed under the auspices of the brightest full moon of the year I changed the name.

Listed coordinates will bring you to where you should face East and look for the trail of fire tacks that will lead you the cache.

This night cache will lead you on an up and down journey of approximately three tenths of a mile each way. The way there is mostly uphill and the way back is mostly downhill. Most of the way is on established trails. Watch for fire tacks to light the way. A strong light source is recommended. Some tacks may not be visible from the previous fire tack. All turns will have visible fire tacks.

You will know you are near ground zero when you reach a triangle of trees each bearing 2 fire tacks. The cache will be somewhere inside this triangle. Good Hunting!

Congratulations to Cohofive on the FTF!
