It's a good idea to bring along a decent flashlight with ya for your adventure. You probably won't need it, but it could help if you're having trouble. I also highly recommend bringing a small cloth with you to the cache. Indeed, it's possible you could get your hands dirty at ground zero. So, if by some chance that does happen to occur, you'll be all set.
The cache itself is small and can only fit very tiny swag inside. There are two log containers inside the cache to ensure the log stays try. Please make sure to put them back in the cache when done. There's also a happy face sponge in there. Leave that as well.
If you enter the woods directly south from the billboards, the terrain should be fairly simple even with the short bushwhack. Thus, I consider this to be a kid friendly cache and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for them. Indeed, my young niece hates geocaching and even she liked this one!
Do note it may take a couple of tries to retrieve the cache. What can I say? ACME tools aren't all they're cracked up to be. That being said, if you're unable to retrieve the cache after numerous attempts and believe it is stuck, just shoot me a message and I'll go work on it.
One other tip. Do not go for this cache after heavy rains unless you're training for the Tough Mudder or Spartan race! Indeed, the road becomes quite muddy after heavy rains.
While you're in the area, make sure to check out some of the other nearby caches. The likely oldest cache in Prince William County and one of my all-time favorites, Tayloe's Iron Works, is very close by. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. It's especially great to do on a warm summer's day. Good luck and happy caching.
