Geocache Description:

Slightly challenging and fun two stage cache.  You will  need to look around the parking area to discover the coordinates for the final.  It will be a short walk to final ... but it will not be wheel chair or stroller friendly.   It IS however kid friendly!  As a matter of fact, if you don't bring a kid to this cache, shame on you!  If you don't have a kid, borrow one!  RENT one!  NO NIGHT CACHING, please!

This cache is hidden on my own property, in my woods.  You have my permission (and my husbands!) to be here!   Your dog is okay too on a leash!  Cache is hidden in honor of my "little boys" who are now grown men.  From the time they were 3 or 4 they spent thousands of hours trekking these woods, building and unbuilding forts and building them up again, being Ninja Turtles and fighting bad guys, and occasionally chopping down a tree that I rather wished would have stayed!  My boys LOVED these woods, and your kids probably will too!   I sure won't say there is NO poison ivy... but I am amazed that neither of boys ever GOT it!  There IS a gully involved... if it's been raining that could increase the T rating substantially!  I do ask that you "stick to the woods"... it might be easier to get there through our yard... but that takes the FUN out of it!     (if the gully REALLY bothers you, you could follow the tree line until you pass it, and then enter the woods.)  And while the neighbors know and agree with my permission to be here, I wouldn't want you trekking through THEIR yards at all!

The cache is a 2.5 GALLON lock~n~lock, filled to the max with toys!  The log is a little bit unusual, and I ask that you do use the pens I've supplied to sign it. 

My husband shoots his bb gun at targets in our yard sometimes... so if you HEAR shots, please HOLLAR!  He will stop and give you time to do your thing!  (this doesn't happen VERY often... I'm just putting it out there IN CASE!)

The cache coords will be at N 38 36.ABC  W 076 39.DEF

**PARENTS** ... please do NOT worry about trading up or even at this cache. Just let your child have fun. IF you happen to have your own personalized wooden nickel or pathtag, this CO would take one of those as trade for anything in that box! Just mention it in your log and I will retrieve it! Promise! :)

Hints to find the final coords:

A =  Number of fence posts (uprights) on the SHORT side of the fence (next to the road) end to end, minus 2.
B =  Number of RED mailboxes on the court, minus 1.
C =  3rd number in the house number of the center driveway on the left.
D =  Number of letters in the street name, minus 3. 
E =  2nd number in the house number at the red barn mailbox.
F =  Number of newspaper boxes on the court, plus 3.
