You will be looking for a larger peanut butter container with log container inside. The tough part of this cache is that it will take you about 25-30 minutes on the trail to get to the caching location(walking fast). This one is located just off the Yellow Bike/Hike. This is near a location used by TJPJ for a hide before I started caching.
This container is placed near "The Chimney". For those of you that have hiked back here you know where the caching area is near. The continer is not in or around the foundation or chimney. Since you decided to make the walk back to this location, I have added a hint which should make this find pretty easy. I did speak to a Cleveland Metro Parks worker, who was working on the new mountain bike trail and his theroy of the chimney and foundation was that it was for people to get out of the elements while they were making maple syrup.
The trail can be confusing at times as the bike trail does cross the old trail several times. It looks like some one has placed a few logs and branches across the old Sugar Maple trail in places where this happens to keep the bikers/hikers on the new biking/hiking trail. Keep an eye out for these areas. I have provided a few pictures of the trail and one of the chimney that the cache is near.
I took 9 readings to try to zero in on the coordinates with two GPS's. None of the readings were the same. With the hint provided, you should be able to make the grab without your GPS.
Parking and the trail head just off of Royalview.
Congrats to cks2 for the First to Find! Thanks for the reminder on the angle.
