Quail Hollow Hiking- Nature For All (Cache #3) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocreacher: Stark Parks contacted me letting me know that they would be removing trees and shrubs at one of my hides, so I decided to Archive the series. It's had a nice long run. Several were missing and/or not put back where I hid them. Cache #3 was completely exposed 30' from where I hid it... AND I found the original. It was like someone took it and then put it back months later?!

Geocache Description:

Quail Hollow State Park has 9 named hiking trails.  I wanted to put out a series of caches highlighting the named trails.  I filled out a “Special Activity Permit” that was approved and signed by the Park Manager, Jim Seikel. 

8-22-15: Decided to open up the series to all Geocachers, more than a year after it was originally published. Please put the cache back better than you found it. Let me know if there is any problem with the cache when you log your find. Enjoy the hike!

Description:  The “Nature for All” hiking trail is Cache #3 in this series of caches.  The name implies that there could be some people on this paved trail.  It is just off the trail, so stealth is a must.

Each of the caches in the series reveals a coordinate number to find the Quail Hollow Mystery Cache.  All 9 coordinate numbers are needed to find the Mystery Cache.  To acquire the coordinate number you will need a QR code scanner that you can get on your SmartPhone.  The QR code is unique in that it is a QR Voice.  Once scanned, it will speak a short message and reveal the coordinate number for the cache.  You can start at any of the 9 caches, as long as you keep track.  You may want to print this out.  Generally, you need 10 coordinate numbers to locate a cache.  I will provide one of the 10 needed numbers.

Here is how you keep track:

N 40° ___  ___  .  ___  ___  ___     W 81° ­­___  ___ . ___  ___  ___   (I will give you the W 81° ­ 1­­   ___ . ___  ___  ___ )

Cache #1 coordinate number (from QR Voice) goes in the first blank, Cache #2 coordinate number goes in the second blank and so on...

N 40° 1   2 .  3   4   5     W 81° 1   6 .  7   8    9
