The good news is this cache is only halfway uphill. The bad news it's the first half! Be prepared for a strenuous climb. It took me about 45 minutes to get from the parking lot at Oak Creek to the cache site.
Bring water!

This is a regular cache and a regular travel bug hotel in and of itself. However, if you have done my Mac Multi cache, you know how much I like field puzzles. So, As I create new field puzzle caches, I will place the puzzles in this cache not online. All you need to do is return to this cache, take a copy of the new puzzle, and get to work! Easy Peasy, right?
As I put publish new puzzles I will list them here. There should be a list of active field puzzles, not all my puzzles. When I scouted this area, there was no poison oak. NOW THERE IS! If you come at the stump from the most obvious direction, you'll walk right through it. Come at it from the uphill side (a little further up the road) and you should avoid it but be aware of what it looks like. I went in this way and I came out rash free two weeks later and I am susceptible to it. I am publishing pictures to help you identify it.
Unfortunately, there are no field puzzles at this time.
