Geocache Description:

A trickier cache than most in the area.

This one is one of the harder ones on the circuit. Getting to GZ requires some bushwacking - however; once you get to GZ it is almost park like. But don't let this setting fool you! Because for as long as man has told stories there have been strange tales of things that happen in the swamp. Strange sounds, weird animal sightings and other oddities. People have often attributed these goings on to swamp gas. If you stand on this little hill you can see into the swamp nearby. You may even see some weird apparitions caused by the swamp gas - you almost will certainly smell it! I know I did.

I decided to make a cache placement run today. I have been accumulating some containers for a while and decided I needed to get them in the field. I placed 10 caches on this litte trip - some are easy and some are hard. The last three fit their name. If you want to do them in the order I placed them here it is - if you do it in this sequence I would love to know the mileage and time it took you to complete the loop. Bring water and tell a friend.

Not sure about plants and animals - I placed them in the winter so we didn't have to deal with much. I'm sure it will be very different in the Summer.

My dog Sandy and I had a nice time placing these. Hope you have fun finding them.

*** Congratulations to RAA, Crazy4Horses and JACHREXOB for an incredible FtF! I started seeing the Found emails around 10pm - I never expected anyone to try these at night - impressive or crazy? ***
