Geocache Description:

This is a physically challenging three part multi.  If you're not in good physical shape, please do not attempt! Please read the attributes before heading out to determine if this is something you want to do.  Never hike alone!


In order to find the final you will have to follow the path I took to get there. Waypoint one is numbers only, Wp2 has a cache container with numbers inside. The final is a larger than normal peanut butter jar.

At the posted coordinates, locate the numbers you will need before venturing into the deep. The degrees and minutes will remain the same throughout this multi, so you will only need to change the seconds at each waypoint. On the way to the second waypoint you will come to what appears to be a dead end with 100 feet to go. There will be some blackberry bushwhacking to deal with in order to get there. Yes, there is a trail here just past the fern.

Waypoint 2 is really just a guideline to where you will enter to find the final. The hill down is very slippery and steep. Please use caution and take your time. There will be certain times in the year when the cache will be more difficult to get to, depending on the rainfall. I don't recommend going in winter. You must cross the stream in order to get to the cache. Access may be seasonal, or just take off your shoes, your choice.

Difficulty is high because of GPS bounce and the placement of each WP. Terrain is high because of the mud, bushwhacking, and hill you must traverse both ways to get to and from the cache. Bring a friend you don't like very much, long pants, plenty of water, good shoes and a hiking stick.

Congrats to dkestrel and DocDTA on the courageous first to find!
