Geocache Description:

Cache is an ammo container that has a logbook and various dollar store trinkets. Please bring your own writing instrument and replace both stages EXACTLY as found. You can either park below the escarpment on Country Club Drive, or above the escarpment at Paramount Park. Please read the below description carefully, as this is a letterbox. Also, please do not remove the stamps that are in the cache.

This is a letterbox hybrid with a twist, therefore, you will need to read the instructions below, carefully.

The posted coordinates will bring you to an interesting tree. It has a hump about 8 feet up. From this tree, head 60 paces WEST.

From here, turn and face SOUTH. Look for a log that is laying on the ground horizontally directly in front of you. This log should be about 27 paces to the south (See spoiler pic for help if you need). You will find a lock-n-lock container, on the east side of this downed tree, near the root. This container has information that you will NEED to access the logbook in the next stage. You can either take a picture of the contents of this lock-n-lock, or take the whole thing with you to the FINAL. Either way, please place it back in the exact same spot when done with it.

From here, you will need to look to your SOUTH once again. This is where the terrain of 4 comes in to play. Head up the escarpment in a straight line until you are about 15 feet from the top. Use the location labelled FINAL LOCATION to make locating ground zero quicker. Final is approximately 10 feet East of the Root end of a huge fallen tree, under a very small rock overhang. See pictures. You will need to use the information that you gathered from the previous stage to open the container, and sign the logbook. After you have signed in, please make sure the container is hidden and secure for the next finder.

Congratulations to superkatze and Msbrenders on the FTF!
