This was our first hike along the trail and thought that it would be more rewarding to other cachers who love to hike and get some smileys along the way. We really enjoyed this hike with all the varying terrain and scenery. This segment runs from Highway 123 to Brevoort Lake Road and was a total just shy of 8-miles long. We left at 9:23am and arrived at 1:05pm a total of 3 hours 42 minutes at a gingerly pace and hiding caches along the way. I wore shorts and a T-Shirt, however there were areas with Raspberries that may scratch your legs and ankles if your not careful, so pants might be a better option. Although I know there are ticks, the four of us didn't have a single one when we finished. We left our vehicle at the end and got dropped off at the beginning of the trail, bring plenty of water, your GPS, and a camera.
We tried to space the caches about 1/2 mile apart, all of the caches are in very similar containers and hidden pretty much the same style along the trail. I tried to keep it pretty simple and the caches are all near a blue diamond that marks the trail. We named the cache series for the flora and fauna we experienced along the trail. This series should be winter friendly as well.
