Geocache Description:

A fun cache at the fairgrounds.

This cache is a "working" or what I call a gadget cache. Finding this cache box will be very easy, just a short walk from the parking lot. Your job will be to figure out what you have to do to find the log and sign it. The internal workings of this cache are quite extensive, so although the log is not small, I could not figure out a place to store a pencil, so come prepared.

PLEASE be careful in retrieving and replacing the log. It can be difficult. Be sure to close up everything.

As you approach Ground Zero you will see a birdhouse-like box painted appropriately for the location. To open the cache container, you will need to GENTLY PULL & SLIDE something; OF COURSE, not necessarily in that order! When you figure out the solution, you will notice it only takes a VERY light touch.

THE CACHE DOES NOT need to be taken apart, pried open or otherwise disassembled. NO tools are required. This is a large cache, but please NO swag.
