Have you ever been walking through the woods, lost track of time and discovered that you are nowhere near a familiar spot, like the one at which you entered? On top of that, it got dark! Well, with a compass, a good GPSr or at least a flashlight you were probably not in too much trouble, unlike realizing that you have none of these handy devices with you (BTDT).
Not to worry on this little cache-hunting trip into the woods; it's not very far off the trail, and you will still be able to see that familiar point of entry, and hear the cars go by on Sugarloaf Pkwy.
Congrats to SillyRab8 (and kids) for FTF honors!
