This cache and its companion cache (Paradise Found) work together to provide the coordinates for the Paradise Lost and Found mystery cache.
When you find this cache, be sure to take note of the information provided. You will need this information, and the information from the Paradise Found cache before you can go after the mystery cache.
Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. It was originally published in 1667 in ten books, with a total of over ten thousand individual lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, changed into twelve books (in the manner of the division of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification.
The poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men." Paradise Lost is often considered one of the greatest literary works in the English language.
This cache is available during the winter, however, the gate at the top of the trail access will be closed and locked during the winter months. If you choose to pursue this cache during the winter, then please exercise due caution as the access road can be very slippery.
Do not attempt to reach this cache from the highway. Use the listed parking coordinate and trailhead to start your search for this cache. You can use the same parking coordinate for both the Paradise: Found and the Paradise: Lost caches, and there is a separate parking coordinate for the Paradise: Lost and Found cache.
We took in excess of 20 sets of coordinates and averaged them for this one. But signal bounce can still be an issue, so I will provide a free hint and tell you that this cache on located on the South side of the paved trail.
Congratulations to Miss-Kayla, MorgyPorgy, Miss-Brat and CrazyKC on going 3 for 3 on the FTFs.
