Geocache Description:

This cache is one of a series of caches along the beautiful Warhill Sports Complex multi-use trail commemorating those who influenced the English settlement of James City County, and by extension, the United States. The trail is 3.5 miles long, but has many exit and entrance locations, which you can find here.
You are looking for a micro tube. If you can't find it, J = E-H

One of Walter Raliegh's key partners in the vision of English colonization of the New World was the reknowned cartographer & geographer Richard Hakluyt. While Walter Raleigh was trying to plant the Roanoke Colony (which he called "Virginia"), Hakluyt was raising awareness of the importance of England's continued efforts at colonizing the new world. Perhaps his most important (or propagandist, depending on your point of view) document was his Discourse on Western Planting. It is in this document that Hakluyt draws on the voyages of Madoc to support arguments for combating Spain in the colonization of the new world.

There's a clue for GC5WHK9 in this cache.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the trail is set in a wildlife conservation area, please take special care to not disturb the vegetation (or the wildlife!). The caches are set up to be easy for you to find. If your coordinates indicate that a cache is in a tree, please check the foot of the tree first, then along the trunk. Caches will never be out along the branches or in shrubs or bushes. If it takes more than a minute or two to find the cache, please check the hint. The trail is open from 7 am until sunset.

Please replace as found.

Thanks to James City County for keeping up such a beautiful trail and letting us cache here!
