Beasties of the Wood #2 - The Belly of the Beast
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This cache is part of a series of themed caches located on MDC Conservation lands. Permission for placement has been granted by the Forester of the area, Frances Main. There is an area close to GZ where you can pull over and park. The "Trail Closed" sign is for Horseback riders. We have been granted permission to be in that area.
Late this Summer there was a whispering in the wind that something was astir in a neighboring Wood. Being the inquisitive type I made several journeys to see if something was truly amiss....either foul or fair. The forest was overly watchful as I entered certain areas. The trees and their inhabitants were restless as I made several discoveries. They were concerned.......would I be able to keep their secrets? Secrets? Aye...their secrets.
Over time I have earned their trust, and so I told them that I am part of a very special Order that travels among the trees in many and various locations. People associated with this Order would be able to keep their secrets just as well. I beseeched the Forestal of the Wood. After some pondering, directions, agreements, and truces..... permission has been granted. Tis an Inception......a Beginning of a grand undertaking. The Beasties of the Wood await you......
As you enter into the Conservation area from this walk in point follow the trail towards the left. As you get closer to GZ it will seem as if either an epic battle was fought or you're standing on some sort of training grounds. Beasties in the Wood? I'd say there are signs of that. The trees have quite the Tale to tell, if you're of a mind to listen.
This cache has an aversion to weapons....so if you have anything on you that clinks as you walk.....best not to sneak up on it....judging by what's in the belly of the beast. I know that truces were agreed to...but they are Beasties after all. No sense in stirring up the inhabitants.
There is a log container inside of the cache container. Please don't wedge anything into the cache container that makes retrieval of the log nightmarish.
Close the top tightly to keep the rain out, please and thank you. :)
While I won't tell you the actual size of the container....I will tell you it is not a micro or a nano.
BYOPen
Please replace it in the host ... with the stopper end up.
Note: My gatekeeper cache is struggling with another cache already placed in the Wood. His station has to be moved. You can check in with him later.
