Geocache Description:

This cache is placed near where a railroad used to run but has been shut down for decades. The tracks were even removed in the early 90's and now the rocky path is used by people hiking in the area and people on ATVs.

This is a theme cache and the theme is games. This cache is quite out of the way for most folk so I have made sure that it is worth finding. Inside are some games I have acquired over the years and other items to play games. There's role-playing material, a board game, a gaming magazine, dice, miniatures, a computer game, a model, a novel, and even my entire collection of a certain collectible game. There is even a miniature Orc I painted myself. If you like games (or would like to like games) you should visit this cache. I only ask that if you leave an item that it be game related. It could be a traditional game of some sort, a role-playing game, a computer game, a collectible card game, miniatures or a miniature game...you get the picture. You may also place items that pertain to geocaching

The cache is about 2 foot long by a foot and a half wide. It's about 7 inches deep and has a green top. It is more "water-resistant" than waterproof so any item needs to be securely sealed in a ziploc bag. If you look though the cache, makes sure that any bag you opened is tightly sealed when you leave.

There's a lot of brush on either side of where the tracks used to run and there will be a little bushwacking involved. Watch out for spiders and possibly snakes. While the trail is flat, some places the cache may be are pretty steep. Make sure to wedge the cache back in tightly and cover it with leaves and sticks lest it be discovered by the folks who ATV through here.

Also, make sure you take the clues below along with you in case you have trouble.

You can park at N 39* 06.029 W 089*20.796

Enjoy the view and happy hunting!
