This can be done in the summer, just be sure to go in the evening with a good flashlight!

It's time for a little night time adventure! In the winter months you'll have ample time to find this cache. However, in the summer you'll have to be a night owl and get started around 11pm! Welcome to Homer's first night cache.
Start at the above coordinates and start scanning around you 360 degrees to locate your first set of double white reflector tacks. All white means you're all right on the trail to the cache. If you see an orange reflector tack, it's time to break from your stride and look around again for the next double white reflector.
The final cache location will be marked with 3 white markers, and is winter friendly.
If you've never done a night cache before, you're in for a real treat. If you're on a clear trail, the reflectors will be spaced out a little more than being able to see one from the previous. All reflectors should be visible from the last if you are supposed to take a turn.
As usual, some markers could go missing. I will perform routine maintenance to keep the existing markers in place. If you find that a section between tacks is too difficult, please take a GPS reading of where you would like to see an additional marker and I will add one in.
My goal isn't to make this cache difficult or impossible, but seekers must be aware that leaf growth, snowfall, and other natural factors may make some reflectors harder to find than others. Be patient, and trust your gut! That's where the fun really comes in! You may have to backtrack, and that's ok. Allow at least 45 minutes to seek this cache in winter, and perhaps the same in summer depending on the water levels in some sections of the trail.
Remember, do not hike on groomed classic ski trails. For the first half, your path will take you mostly along a snowshoe trail in the winter, and a light-moderate bushwhack in the summer. The second half will start to get tougher. When you find the cache I hope you thought ahead about taking a waypoint where you parked your car! Wear waterproof footwear or boots in the summer just to be safe. It can get swampy back there. But just remember...No Dumping!
