Geocache Description:

Good trail entrance: N 43 13.800 W 077 11.911

There is a little bushwhacking and some poison ivy in its season, so wear proper clothing (boots, long pants, etc). Relatively short walk to the cache from trail entrance mentioned. Nearby Williamson Town Trail.

We like to park at the trail entrance by Sundaze on RT104, walk to the trail's end in Whispering Woods, and a little bit further along the road, on the right, you'll see the entrance (or use the coords seen above). Make sure you go along the road to reach the coords, or you'll be bushwhacking several hundred feet.

Another good option is to drive in on Whispering Woods Drive (either from 104 or from Main/Ridge Road in Williamson) and you can park in a little side lot just a 200 feet from the cache. You can see it on the Satellite map.

Cache is a unique MacGyver-themed container (not waterproof!), with a smaller container within marked for trade items. Items not in those containers will get damp during the wet seasons, so please don't put anything important outside of the trade tin.

We're trying the log in a zippy bag instead of its old container. Please try to zip it well when leaving and replace the bag or warn us, if it gets ripped.

The theme items:
When we happened upon these odd items in the woods, we couldn't help but wonder what our favorite hero, MacGyver, would do with them (and a little duct tape, of course).

Duct tape geocoin for first to find, which we left in with the logbook. Also lots of family-friendly items, fun MacGyver-themed cards, and we're launching our MacGyver's Pal travel bug from this cache.

Please note the junky MacGyver items around the cache were not thrown away by us, we simply moved them from where we found them in the woods.

**Congrats to Onamission for FTF!**
