Not Too Far Off Track Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

runfar: New campground owners and staff do not want people walking in the woods around the area, so I am disabling the cache. I will reinstate the cache if I am able to receive new permission for the cache.
Thanks so all those who shared in the fun!

Geocache Description:

While visiting the Mansfield area, you may find yourself exploring the forest looking for the elusive white-tailed deer.  Specifically the male of the species may be of interest to you.  Low vegetation and fallen leaves, but otherwise smooth walk.

The container is a screwtop powdered lemonade container marked as a geocache. Coupons for free food in container are still good even though they show past expiration (store will honor them - I know from lots of experience).

 If you decide a brief trip to the other side of the tracks is what you seek, watch for frogs, rabbits, foxes, bears in the air, and even a moose along your journey.  Don't go too far off the track, but the GPS signal can cause a little wandering.  Have no fear, ground zero is a typical forest cache spot.

The walk to get you close to this cache can be made longer by following the beaten and easily visible tracks.  Watch for wildlife along the way and enjoy the sounds of the natural world mixed with those of kids of all ages enjoying themselves between May and October.  During the other months, it will be very quiet, so enjoy the variety of flora and fauna.

Parking is available on the left, near the top of the hill (yellow sign indicates you are almost there !) just before you reach the official campground entrance (a gazebo). It is marked as overflow or additional parking. On weekends, you can (but are not required to) check in with the campground office. Pretty quiet during the week and in off season. The staff was excited to have caches around the property, so take care to be polite. Please do not partake of the facilities reserved for campers unless you are a guest at the campground.
