Geocache Description:

Up for a nice little hike in the woods? This is a five stage multicache that will take you along a nice little creek. The round trip distance is roughly two miles. The stages are fairly straightforward. While there are no big hills to climb, there may be a surprise or two along the way. Wading may also be required at one stage. Indeed, your footwear might briefly be submerged. Prepare accordingly.

There aren't really any fancy games when it comes to this multi. Find one stage and it will contain the coordinates to the next stage. The stages themselves should not be that difficult to find. Indeed, assuming none of the stages have gone missing, you should be able to complete this multi in one trip without any problems.

I've officially given the terrain a rating of three for this multicache. I actually wanted to initially rate it lower, but there are a couple of "minor" terrain challenges you will need to overcome during your trip. Nothing too bad, though. Do note that the last couple of stages will be more difficult to get to during the height of the growth season. So if you're going to attempt this multi in the summer or early fall, I'd highly recommend wearing some type of light pants. Bug spray could also prove to be useful.

To begin the multi, I highly recommend entering the woods at the waypoint I've given. There are currently some tents back in these woods, but they can be safely avoided if you stick to the right and bushwhack. There are trails back here, but they are easy to lose. I recommend bushwhacking and following your compass.

At some point during your adventure, you'll pass right by the Skyhook Challenge geocache. You're welcome to give that one a shot before continuing. Getting to Stages 4 and 5 could be a tough bushwhack in the summer, however; should actually be a fairly simple bushwhack in the late fall, winter, and spring.

The actual final container for this multi is a FULLY STOCKED ammo can. Yep, plenty of goodies inside! Not gonna make you do all that work for nothing! The other stages, however; vary in shape and size. If you're having trouble finding a particular stage, I've provided spoiler hints. I only recommend using them as a last resort, though. I know for me personally, it's always more satisfying to find a cache without using any hints. The option is there though if needed.

One last and VERY IMPORTANT thing. There is a small chance you may encounter horseback riders in the woods. If this happens, you will need to adhere to the guidelines I've listed below. PLEASE READ carefully.

If you ENCOUNTER a HORSEBACK RIDER in the woods:

1. Give horseback riders the right of way on trails

2. Stand to the side of the trail until horses are well past you

3. Speak to horseback riders as they approach. This helps the horse understand that you are not a threat

4. Never run at or touch a horse without the riders permission

5. Never follow directly behind a horse

THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION

I believe that about covers everything. If you end up going for this multi, I hope you enjoy exploring this hidden little area as much as I did. Happy caching!
