Here's to Hiders and Hunters Mystery Cache

This cache is not at this location. In order to get the final coordinates you will need solve this easy puzzle. The number of acres of Northland Arboretum + 25 will give you the minutes of the North coordinates; the year Northland Arboretum was founded - `1255 will give you the minutes of the West coordinates. This information can be found on the Northland Arboretum webpage.

The original CO of this cache tried to introduce you to all of the wonderful trails inside the Northland Aboretum. I wanted to keep that challenge available. I also wanted to get local cachers introduced to geocaching without having to complete all 11 caches in one day. You now have the option. The trails are rolling and will test your stamina. They cover 540 acres of forest, swamp and savannah. Sometimes the trails are sandy, sometimes rocky and sometimes soft and wet. In the summer you will encounter all kinds of insects, including ticks, flies and mosquitoes. In the winter the trails are for skiers and snowshoers. This location has a daily use fee but the trails are not open to bicycles, you can ride the Paul Bunyan trail.
