Anthony and I hid these caches on a late fall day that warmed up nicely. At one point, we had a riveting conversation on Duracell batteries. Serious. So a few days later as I hiked the area, I looked up at one point and there it was... a Duracell Tree. There was a few of them. And the sun was shining on them. You will know what I mean when you see them.
So go see them. And when Anthony finds this cache, and sees those trees... I hope he remembers friends having a great day, talking about everything, and enjoying the sonshine...
A-K-GO Trails
Trail ratings were based on hiking. Quads or bikes can be used for certain parts but are not suitable for getting to the cache. Some trail areas would be difficult to bike. Take care to watch for other bikes quads and the bike jumps in the lower area. The safety of the cacher and the environment were considered while placing this caches. Be careful with both.
Parking instructions can be found at GC4Q7BH (A-K-GO Trail: Green-1).
Trail descriptions are below. Cachers can choose to complete caches in any order.
GREEN TRAIL - Caches on this trail vary from 1.5 to 2.5 in difficulty. Each cache is a different container or creative hide. Fast, fun, kid friendly and doable in the winter. It's a leisurely 2 km hike at a light downhill pace from Green-1. Most of the elevation change happens after the cache Green-5.
BLUE TRAIL - Caches on this trail will vary from 2.0 to 3.5 in difficulty. Sometimes it's just about taking the path through the trees, not around them, and this is what the Blue Trail does. You choose the direction and route to go.. Enjoy the journey. And take someone with you.
BLACK TRAIL - Caches on this trail will vary from 3.5 to 5.0 in difficulty. Be prepared that caches may take you more time to find (unless your geosenses are strong) and in places more difficult to access. These are not caches for inexperienced cachers/hikers. It involves more hiking off the trail with higher elevation.
As always, practice safe caching.
- Bring a pen.
- Replace cache containers to their proper place.
- Be prepared for the type and area of caching you are attempting.
- Trade for something of the same value (Be sure to bring something to trade).
- If you take a trackable or geocoin - be sure to keep it moving.
- Have fun. What a great way to enjoy the outdoors.
