Geocache Description:

Seeking a camo container.

Make sure you park at the Parking Coords... do not park along the side of the road!


I've been looking at this spot for awhile. And thought it would make for a fine letterbox hybrid.

To begin, you should park at the waypoint before attempting this one.

Get out of your comfy car and grab your GPS... you have some walking to do.

Of course, you can run or bike your way to the starting location as well...

So, let's start!

Get to the posted coordinates.

Here you notice a green fence post and a small clearing in to the north.

Ignore the clearing and head east on the walking path.

You'll walk for quite a bit. Going over a bridge in the process...

When you've gone far enough... maybe 2 tenths of a mile... stop.

You should have passed a Bike Path sign.
And a body of water is close by to the NW.

Notice the thin trees...
Face North and you'll want to walk that way.

Woodline is east of you, body of water is west... walk down the line of trees.
Count out 6 trees from the sidewalk and stop again.
You are close.

At the 6th tree, turn and face East... you should see a slight path in the woodline.

From the tree follow that path for less than 60ft.
You should see two good size pine trees in a Jacob's Ladder formation.

The letterbox is hidden near those two trees but not at the base.

Use the hint if you want more info, but first try to search around a bit...

I mean, what's the rush?
No one is looking.

Have fun.

Oh yeah, and make sure the Stamp and Pad stay with the cache! All else is for trade.
