Newt Traditional Cache

The terrain of Mackinac Island is varied. Once you head away from the shoreline, the elevation increases. Mostly smaller rolling terrain once you're on top. Transportation on the island is limited to walking, bicycling or horses. I have not placed any cache that would require you to scale any steep grade. If you think you need to climb or descend any steep grade, there's a better way to approach from a different road or trail.

Do not look for this cache after July 2th.
On July 3th I plan to remove this cache and place a new cache somewhere nearby. If I run out of time or if the weather does not cooperate or if my knee hurts to much to replace this cache, I'll enable it and try again at a later date. I'm going to disable this cache as another warning that it will soon be archived.

Most caches are close to the trail or road, or at most, a dozen or two steps off. There are a number of points of interest to stop and take in the sights. If you use a bicycle, please remember to park your bike off of the trail or road.

As I was looking around for a spot for this cache, I moved some bark and found a newt. I replaced the back and looked else.

Placed on Scott's (Cave) Road. If you are coming from the inside of the island, go slow when the road descends as it's kind of steep and the gravel can be loose. At one time there was a Scott's Cave. It was blown up for rock. Please keep an eye open for muggles. Please re-hide as found or better. Please trade fair or don't trade.

I have created a remote web page with general information for geocaching on Mackinac Island. Please visit this link for the latest info.

I read many of the logs that are posted on my caches, but sometimes I can't read all emails. If you find a problem with any of my caches, please post a "Needs Maintenance" log. Logs of that type are filtered into a special inbox that gets 100% read. Thank you.
