Geocache Description:

A sense of Adventure is required.

This is not an LPC. Nothing against LPC's but you will have to get off the sidewalk to get this smiley.

Hiking, Climbing, Jumping, Briars, Bushes, Hills, Mud and Water may be part of obtaining the smiley for this cache.


BRING A PEN AND PAPER!!!

This is the link to the youtube video of this cache series. It starts out pretty blurry but gets better: http://youtu.be/9b7zbcfOV4c

There is a challenge associated with this series and it is called 'the swamp dog challenge': CX31A4

The Swamp Dog series is set up to find the Swamp Dog Challenge Cache. There are 4 Swamp Dog cahes. Each has part of the coordinates needed to find the Swamp Dog Challenge cache. GC38A4Z, GC38A5Z, GC38A69, GC38A6N

This one is the easiest one in the series. There is a little brush wading involved.

Wear sturdy pants and I would recommend rubber boots. Gloves might be helpful as well as a walking stick. I would bring along a bottle of water too.

Ther are wild animals in the woods. Bears and cougars and such. This is not to scare you but to make you aware. Bring a dog, make noise, bring a friend, bear spray (if you feel like you need it), whatever. Be prepared.

Either take someone with you finding this series of caches or let someone know where you are at. That's common sense but many people die every year from a lack of it.

Have fun. These caches are meant to be a little challenging. You can do it if you set your mind to it. If you have issues walking up and down hills and mild climbing, best just pass on these.

This cache is just a little up from a good sized swamp. This area will get a little water once we get some rain but it is nothing a pair of rubber boots can't handle.

These should all be avaliable and obtainable all year long.

GPS signal was low in the woods. I let my GPS average and used the averaging feature. I put new batteries in it before I left home as well. Swamp dog 1-4 you can post spoilers or hints or corrected coords in you logs that might help the next cacher just in case mine are slightly off. These caches are meant for the getting there part rather than the super hard find. However for Swamp Dog Challenge you won't be able to do that since it is dependent on the others for the coords as it is a puzzle cache and posting corrected coords would spoil it.

We enjoy easy and hard caches. LPC's have helped begin to build our numbers so we have nothing against them. We have placed many. But we wanted to give you a few smileys you could work for. A little adventure in your day. Happy Caching.

Be Safe. Have Fun! Bring a pencil and paper!!!!
