The cache is located on Witch-Hazel Trail in Ringwood forest. (There is a trail map posted near the parking lot.) A very beautiful park on Ringwood Rd just off of M52 (in Saginaw Co.)
Olly Olly Oxen Free is a catchphrase used in hide and seek to indicate that players who are hiding can come out into the open without losing the game. It is thought to derive from the phrase "All ye, all ye 'outs' in free;" in other words: all who are "out" may come in without penalty.
It might also derive from the German phrase "Alle, alle auch sind frei," meaning "everyone, everyone is also free."
=======================
This isn't really a new cache. It was originally my "Hide & Seek" puzzle cache. The object was to find and log 4 different Travel Bugs, which would each give you a clue. When you had all four clues I would send you the coords for the cache.
I really liked the idea of this cache and enjoyed all the interaction I had with different cachers who were trying to track down the TBs and get the clues.
But the TBs kept coming up missing or were taken to other states (even though the laminated tag specifically said PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE FROM THE SAGINAW, BAY, MIDLAND COUNTY AREA).
So I've decided to make it a regular cache. Anyone who's already logged the original cache (GCM154 - Windrose's Hide & Seek Cache) -- Please feel free to log this one (Olly Olly Oxen Free).
================================
Container is an ammo box. It’s well concealed but shouldn’t be too hard to find. Please make sure you recover and conceal it well. Cache is about 150 feet from the trail - in a fairly open area (there is very little brush to navigate through).
