Bird Watching on Market Street Traditional Geocache

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.

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.

This is the first time I've placed a cache like this one here on Mackinac Island. This cache is located on the property of the Market Street Inn. The innkeeper is very interested in geocaching. She has given me permission to place it. She picked it's hiding spot.

She does ask to be respectful of guest and to only attempt this cache between the hours of 9am - 5pm.

You will be looking for a waterproof matchstick container. Thanks to SP500, he has provided a clever way to hide this container. I've added a few pieces of cammo to help it blend in.

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.
