Geocache Description:


This is a night cache ONLY!

Make sure you have throughly read and understood the instructions below, have ALL of the necessary equipment, and have told someone where you are going before attempting this cache.

You are looking for strategically placed fire-tacks, which will lead the way to the final hide, however there is a complication.....at certain points the trail ends and there is a bison hidden which contains co-ords. You need to head to those co-ords in order to find the start of the fire-tack trail again. The last bison contains the co-ords for the final cache.

There are sets of TWO tacks to mark the route, THREE tacks mark where the bisons are hidden, and an ARROW of tacks points to the last bison which contains the co-ords for the final cache.

There is also a BONUS cache, the co-ords for this are inside the final cache.

To find the start of the trail stand at the trailhead waypoint and look to your right.

Don't expect the fire-tacks to jump out at you, a little search will be needed at times!

This cache has been placed on MOD land with kind permission from Udai Maj Gurung. Please be aware that the MOD will not be liable for any injuries that may occur on their land whilst attempting this cache.
