Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night should stay you from swift completion of this cache. It won't be an easy task with the untamed wilderness you will have to cross, but it is your solemn duty to make it to this cache and retrieve your smiley!
Scene: You are in a post-apocalyptic USA where any semblance of government has long ago died, and the few remaining survivors of the apocalypse have banded together into small groups or villages. It’s a world where survival is difficult and the future is bleak, and the only hope for happiness is to fight for your life and be with the few loved ones you have left. You are a Postman. You offer hope to the people of these villages by bringing them word from other survivors and possibly even loved ones from which they have been separated. They look to you to bring them news of an emerging free and fair government that will help protect the people, and end much of the suffering that they have endured from the likes of bandits and gangs of ruthless villains that steal their precious resources. In order to do this you must find this hidden cache of mail that is yet to be delivered. The people are counting on you; you have sworn an oath to deliver them hope... deliver their mail. To add some bonus fun to this cache please bring a letter, note, message, or other form of communication or correspondence to leave for the next cacher (or Postman) to find and read.. it can say whatever you like (have fun and be creative (and send me a pic) :) If you forget an envelope I left a box of them in the cache container. Right from the get-go this cache will prove to be difficult. There is no easy place to park.. the closest road to the cache is pretty dangerous to park on, so use caution. I’d say your best bet, though not the shortest or easiest of routes (but perhaps the safest), would be to park near GC1ZBY7 grab yourself the lovely cache that is there, take in the beautiful vista, then hike the agonizing mile or so through the woods. In any case, once you figure out your preferred approach you will find that there is no path that will lead you directly to the cache.. there are a couple trails around these woods (some that bring you to some interesting spots; actually a very nice view at N 41 59.452 W 71 27.153) but none that go anywhere near GZ. I would expect to bushwhack, at minimum, about 0.2 miles. Once you have completed your journey be sure to sign the log and leave your correspondence if you brought anything.. Plenty of room for trinkets, Geocoins, and TBs.
