Small geocache hidden within the boundaries of the Lichterman Nature Center in Memphis, Tennessee.
Lichterman Nature Center is a 65-acre haven of peace and quiet located in the middle of east Memphis. It includes 3 miles of nature trails which wind around a beautiful lake and through dense woods. The Visitor Center houses exhibits about the plants and animals native to the area. The Backyard Wildlife Center provides a variety of living and interactive exhibits about the three distinct habitats represented at the Nature Center - lake, meadow, and forest.
THE GEOCACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!
The coordinates listed take you to the Nature Center's entrance which is located at 5992 Quince Road in Memphis, Tennessee. When you go into the Nature Center stop at the front desk (you have to pass it when you walk through the doors!) and tell the staff at the desk that you are geocaching. They will give you a sheet of paper with the coordinates of all active geocaches in the Lichterman Nature Center. The staff may even wish you luck! You might want to grab a free trail map while you are there. This cache hidden with permission from the Nature Center.
A few things you should know and a couple rules you should follow. The good folks at the Nature Center do not want you bushwhacking, so don't. It is not necessary. Stay on the trails until you are very close to the cache. Watch for muggles everywhere! USE STEALTH! The geocache is ocated within the boundaries of the Nature Center.
Please put everything back the way you found it.
The Lichterman Nature Center is open on Tuesday through Thursday from 9 am until 4 pm and on Friday & Saturday from 9 am through 5 pm. You will have to hunt these caches during those hours. There is an admission fee of $6 per adult to enter except on Tuesdays from 1 pm until 4 pm when admission is free!
DESIGNED FOR WARM WEATHER!
This is one of six geocaches placed in Lichterman Nature Center in Spring, 2013. All of these are designed to be good caches to hunt when the weather is warm or cool. No bushwhacking is needed although you will be in the forest. There will be bugs, poison ivy, and snakes where the cache is hidden (but you are unlikely to encounter geese). You will want to use insect repellent during warmer months.
Bring your own pencil! As with all geocaches you hunt, you take full responsibility for yourself and your actions when you decide to hunt this geocache.
Note that the difficulty rating takes into account the fact that this park has limited access hours and an admission fee (except one afternoon each week). The difficulty rating also takes into consideration the facts that there may be muggles around here.
The coordinates were obtained by averaging more than 400 times with a Garmin 60CSx. Use your caching experience and look in obvious places.
The hint helps. Each cacher must sign the log individually.
