Geocache Description:

"When the road dips again there are stretches of marshland that one instinctively dislikes, and indeed almost fears at evening when unseen whippoorwills chatter and the fireflies come out in abnormal profusion to dance to the raucous, creepily insistent rhythms of stridently piping bullfrogs." - H.P. Lovecraft, "The Dunwich Horror"


This is a small, regular cache hidden along (what I'm calling) the CHUD trail in the Rocky River Reservation.  The cache is located close to the trail and no bushwhacking is required.  This was hidden in honor of H.P. Lovecrafts birthday and marks the third cache along this trail, and hopefully makes the walk worthwhile!  I found the best time to go is in the evening (I usually go after 6pm) to see the most wildlife activity.  Keep an eye out for poison ivy!  There isn't any in the immediate vicinity of the cache, but there's plenty of it around.  Also, just a heads up, my GPS jumps anywhere from 8 feet to 40 feet back here, but keep your eyes peeled and you should find it.
