Geocache Description:

This cache is at the above coordinated. It should be easy to find. Signing the log book however is a completely different matter.

Best approached from the south bound lane. There is plenty of room to park just of the highway if you have a vehicle with some clearance. There is no need to drive over the little hill. The trail is just on the other side. I followed the trail to where it passed under the highway at the bridge, so I do believe this can be approached from Railway Road if you know the trails in this area.


This is my twist on the monkey puzzle cache. The log book is in a film canister which is locked inside the puzzle. The key to the lock is also inside the puzzle. Your job is to figure out how to get the key out so you can sign the log book.

Please do not hold the cache by what look like handles to shake the key out. Also please be careful not to lose the key. It is quite small. Holding one hand over the outlet is a good way to prevent the key from winding up on the ground. After opening the cache and signing the logbook please put the key in the top portion of cache and lock it up ready for the next cacher.

There is an unactivated geocoin for the FTF
