Geocache Description:


Night caching is fun in the city.  You go out with your flashlights and try to find micros in pine trees, PBN's in stop signs,  and lets not forget film bottles under LPC's.  Now most night caching is done that way because parks close at dark.  Well here is a spot that I found open all night.  I decided to make a night cache walk.  When you get out of your car be thoughtful of the neighbors.  The things you will need on this adventure is a GPS, a flashlight, and some boots would be advised.  When you get out of the car you will be parked in front of a guardrail it will have reflective numbers you will need for the last 3 digits of the west coordinates.  After taking notes of them, move down the hill and start looking for GREEN flash tacks.  They are teardrop shaped and point the direction you need to travel.  Most of them are over 6 feet in the air.  Follow them till you get to a big clearing.  At the clearing you need to move to the center and look for white tri-angles.  Each row will re-present a number for the last 3 digits in the north coordinates.  Enter your new coordinates into your GPS N42 24.xxx w83 19.xxx.  At this point you wont need to follow the GREEN tacks but they mark what I thought was the easiest path to the cache.  When you get near the final there is a large log you will have to climb over.  Now your getting close and you should be able to see a red arrow pointing to its hiding spot.  Be careful of the boogie man that lives just to the left of the final. 

P.S.  I didn't mark the way out but you can just follow the paths back with the help of you GPS.  Just use the starting point to guide you back.  I did put a couple of GREEN tacks near the parking in case you found yourself on a path that leads near there.  They might save you some time.
