The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
While out placing theses caches we encountered many traces of flora and fauna. In particular, birds had created nests in some trees. They were noticeable because a lot of the trees in this state forest are pine and have very high branches. So those few evergreens left behind from fire or other forms of destruction stick out a little bit more.
