GeoFox784: So I lost the container. Im going to be gone again for awhile so it would be silly to order it now. Maybe in the future I will order it again and replace it.

Geocache Description:

Location:
This is located in a beautiful park with miles of trails. There are countless bike and walking paths. I highly recommend you come back to explore the park later. Many deer and other animals live here. There are also many other caches in the park, some of them not too far away.

Basic info:
This cache is meant to be a very challenging one. Many caches in the area are meant to be easy. This is not one of them. It should NOT require climbing. You may have to look for a while. However, this is time well spent hopefully enjoying the scenery. If you use satellite imagery you may not need a GPS. This can qualify as kid friendly; however it is a VERY difficult find. The cache is NOT in the rocks. It is very likely you will need to understand the hint for you to find it. I recommend bringing a compass. Permission has been granted by the park authority.

Warnings:
ONLY HUNT DURING DAYLIGHT. The park is closed at night. When removing the cache make sure to be VERY careful as it would not be fun to watch it fall into the water and float away. Put it back EXACTLY where you find it, as the river can flood to cover the bridge and its location prevents it from being pushed by the water. (This is not supposed to be a hint. Don’t think too hard about it.)

GPS Map:
Over a few months I mapped all of the trails in Cub Run Park with my GPS. I sent all of the files to the creator of “My Trails”. “My Trails” is one of the top custom maps available on GPS file depot (a great site for free custom maps for your GPS). He has updated the custom map to include all of the trails. It is a very easy to install map overlay that will show the trails on top of whatever map you are currently using. If you would like the map you can access the map here: GPS File Depot
