Geocache Description:

****THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES****

This cache is designed to be found in the dark. You may not be able to find it in the daytime.

Some warnings and other stuff…

Bring bug spray ( the mosquitoes can be bad here)

You will be walking in the dark on a trail full of roots and going off trail where there are branches on the ground and small fallen trees, so please watch your step.

This is a Geocache/Letterbox hybrid. There is a Letterbox inside of the Geocache. Letterboxing is a lot like Geocaching, but instead of using a GPS to find the Letterbox, Letterboxers use clues. Some of the clues are straight forward while some are cryptic. The Letterbox contains a logbook and a rubber stamp, which is usually hand carved. When a Letterboxer finds a Letterbox, they stamp the Letterbox stamp into their personal logbook and then stamp their personal stamp into the Letterbox logbook. The stamp is a critical part of the Letterbox. Letterboxers do not trade swag. Please do not leave any swag in the letterbox. To find out more about Letterboxing, go to www.atlasquest.com

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE STAMP FROM THE LETTERBOX

For part of the way, you will be following firetacks. The firetacks are placed on trees about 6-7 feet off of the ground. Firetacks reflect an orange light back to the light source. The best way to see them is by holding the flashlight at eye level.

Please make sure that you use a good strong flashlight.

The cache is about 300 feet from the trail.
To get to the cache, follow the M&M trail (white blazed) until you get to GZ. Once at GZ, hold your flashlight at eye level and look towards your left. You will see the first firetack. Go to that tree and follow the firetacks keeping them on your right until you come to a tree with many firetacks on it. There is a fallen tree behind this tree. The cache is in the rootball hole of the fallen tree.
Return the same way that you came by following the firetacks, keeping them on your left back to the trail and then to your car.
