Please READ the HINT below prior to going to find Big Foot George!! And only find this cache if you plan on locking the container the same way as you found it! - Thank you!!!

Yes it's true, just ask Mr Fisherman! He was out trying to find a good location for his next hide, when all of the sudden what did he see? Not only his shadow on the path but another shadow coming up from behind and getting larger and larger. Mr Fisherman knew he could not out run a bear so he turned around quickly, raised his arms in hopes to act bigger and scarier than whatever was catching up to him. Just as he was going to let out a loud roar, Mr Fisherman saw a wall of fur!

"I just kept looking up and up and up", said Mr Fisherman, until he was looking at a real live "Big Foot"! He sensed that something very large was watching him from a distance. But a friendly Big Foot? Mr Fisherman felt like he was the luckiest of geocacher's that day!! You can choose to believe his story or not, but you better if you want to find this cache hidden by Mr Fisherman and his new biggest geocaching friend. And wouldn't you know, Mr Fisherman affectionately named him "Big Foot George"!

It turns out that this particular Big Foot was very interested in geocaching, so the two became BFF's instantly. They decided to build this cache together and share their fun with fellow cacher's here in the NE Ohio area. Now George does not like "muggles", they are not welcome to visit this cache. But any cacher that likes a little challenge and adventure is more than welcome to visit and they'll bring a smile to "George the Big Foot"!

Welcome to "Old Hickory Trail", you can park at the coords listed below, where Warren Pkwy and Croydon Road meet. PLEASE use the two "Trailhead Coords" shown below, for your convenience. Big Foot George insists that they are a MUST in order to find him! Once you find the 2nd Trailhead your distance should keep "dropping" as you head towards GZ. And please do not attempt to find this cache from Rt 91 or take a short-cut through the neighbor's backyard.

Please stay ONLY on "Old Hickory Trail" and the path that George has made which includes the two Trailhead Coords. Do NOT follow the "White Tree Arrow" markings, they do not belong to this cache. And absolutely NO bush-wracking is necessary, go off path and you'll probably get stuck by all the briars that are in this area! Please only find this cache in the "daylight hours"! Green night vision goggles are not necessary in order to find this cache. You may want to bring a writing stick in case the pen inside the container is missing. And in this area of "Old Hickory Trail", bug juice is recommended.

Follow the easy HINT to get inside George's locked container and we hope you'll have a little caching fun "Finding Big Foot"!! There are more great hides in the Twinsburg area that should make for a fun day of caching for smileys. Good caching to you all!
