Afterglow - A Night Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

Bring a flashlight, park near the trailhead, and shine your light toward the trees. Reflective tacks will guide you to the final.

Welcome to Afterglow! This is a night cache. Although it is possible to find during the day time, it will be much easier, and much more fun to find at night (as intended!) Use the trailhead and parking coords to start your journey. Once on the trail, shine your flashlight towards the trees. Reflective tacks will guide the way. At locations where a critical action is necessary you will notice an anomaly - shine your light 360 degrees and look for more tacks. As you near the final, you will notice an increase in placement of tacks. Once you find the cache, turn around and reflective tacks will guide you back to your vehicle. The total time needed to find this cache and return to your vehicle should be well under an hour, but please give yourself sufficient time as the park closes at 10:00 PM. Hours are clearly posted, and being here after 10 PM will result in a violation of local law! NOTE: As the use of cell phones for geocaching has grown in popularity, I feel that I should let you know that the flashlight on your phone is not sufficient to find this cache at night. Bring a real flashlight, I recommend at least 300 lumens.
