Geocache Description:

This is the third and final cache of our "Better Stay Home Mini Series". A camouflage micro protected by the misery of thorns. A pencil or pen would be handy for logging.

The Poison Ivy (Rhus radicans) pictured on the cache page is the actual gauntlet you will have to travel by. Stay true to the path and you should be fine unless a stumble is part of your gait. (The botanist in you might be intrigued that Poison Ivy, a cousin of Staghorn Sumac, is a woody plant, which will be self-evident on your walk). Some of the individual specimens you will pass-by are over 3 - 4 feet high.

Once past the oily foliage, the actual cache container is unguarded by the Rhus guardian but is heavily fortified by nasty thorns. Don't rush in, just pick the right approach.
