Geocache Description:

A trek through the Little Big Econ State Forest, Kilbee Unit, in search of 8 soda bottle preforms and an ammo can.

Your journey will cover roughly 5.5 miles, round trip, with very little bushwhacking, as you hunt for 8 soda bottle preforms and an ammo can. If at any point in this journey you fail to find what you are hunting, you might consider your elevation.

As with any wilderness trek, caution is in order, as this property is home to all manner of critters, both fair and foul. Please close all gates behind you, so the cattle won't mingle with traffic.

Your equipment should include a pokey stick, water, snackage, sturdy boots, water, cell phone, spare batteries, water, a good hat, (you might consider an Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie, AKA AFDB), a GPS and water.

Did I mention water?

You will note I did not mention bringing a towel. Any hitch hiker worth his/her salt will already know the value of a towel, and needn't be told about something so obvious.

As always, DON'T PANIC!

This being a Wherigo cache, you will need some sort of device capable of playing Wherigo cartridges. The Garmin Oregon and Colorado do these quite nicely, as do most smart phones, with the Wherigo app installed. You can click on the link at the top of the page to download the cartridge. Once installed and running, you simply follow the prompts given to you by the Wherigo player, as it guides you along. Because Wherigo players occasionally act a bit wiggy, I've included the GPS coordinates to each zone, in each preceding zone. That way, if you are halfway through, and it crashes, you'll still get your smiley. I suppose, technically, you could treat this like a multi, if you did not want to bother with the Wherigo aspect, but then you'd lose the way kewl story line. Your call.
