- This is a hiking based multi-cache on the North Range at Trexler Nature Preserve. 3.8 miles total hiking IF you get it right.
- Elevation will vary from about 475 Feet to about 725 Feet. I've done my best to avoid the very steep trail sections for this multi-cache but this part of Lehigh County is anything but flat.
- Expect most of the hike to be in full sunshine, please remember your sunscreen.
- I will state that this is a minimal bushwhacking geocache but you should still take all precautions against ticks. Check yourselves regularly while hiking and more importantly do a full body check at home. In most cases, a tick must be attached for 36-48 hours or more before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted.
- There are no clean water sources in this area, bring enough water for your hike and don't forget your geohound's water bowl.
- If the weather turns bad you can either go for your vehicle or maybe take refuge in the new shelter at N 40° 39.295 W 075° 38.135 (Near Stop D).
- There are currently three additional traditional geocaches you can search for just off your route so take advantage of the opportunity and make it a four smiley day.
