Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Oabache Trails Park! (It's pronounced Wabash). The park is open until dark so please plan your visit accordingly. Abide by all posted signs and rules, and enjoy your stay!
This is a Letterbox hybrid originally owned by whitesand-one, and brought back with her permission. Use the supplied clues to help find the cache.

Cache is not at the posted coordinates; they serve as a starting point. Begin here, look to the south, and use the clue below to find the cache.

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the south end of Bill's bridge just below the wooden floor;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow under the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating under the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

If you follow the above clue, this should be a fairly easy find. Cache is a letterbox hybrid and contains a rubber stamp and ink pad, which must remain in the cache. Sign and/or stamp the logbook if you have a stamp of your own. Enjoy the rest of your time at the park! Feel free to help the park staff out by picking up any trash you may find.

"The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow descent into madness.

The actual coordinates for the hide may be found within the cache listing.
