Geocache Description:

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 7th.
On July 8th 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.

When I was placing this cache I wondered if spring is really here. By the calendar it is, but from the amount of snow on the ground and that fact there's still ice on Lake Huron, I wonder if Spring is really here. Since I typically have trouble deciding on what to name most of my caches, you now know where this name came from.

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.
