FSC-2016 Christina Woodland

Cache Details:
Container is small tupperwear container that is covered with black tape and not that easy to spot. (Sorry, but the cache has been muggled once)

Park at the Boat ramp and "enjoy" a 300 foot bushwhack--the choices are endless and there is no best way. Long pants is highly suggested. Be careful since there is some poison ivy near the cache. Then maybe try a different bushwhack back to your car.



Description:
Cache site info - "This area is a typical woodland found near the banks of the Christina River. Quiet cachers can expect to see or see evidence of deer, racoon, opossum, and other wildlife Indigenous to this environment. Birds can be plentiful. Please remember to pick up trash others have left behind."

The Christina River is a tributary of the Delaware River, approximately 35 miles long, in northern Delaware in the United States, also flowing through small areas of southeastern Pennsylvania and northeastern Maryland. Near its mouth the river flows past downtown Wilmington, Delaware, forming the city's harbor for traffic on the Delaware River. The Port of Wilmington, opened in 1923 at the river's mouth, handles international cargo and trade.[5] The river rises in southeastern Pennsylvania, in Franklin Township in southern Chester County, and initially flows southeastwardly, passing through the northeastern extremity of Maryland in northeastern Cecil County, into New Castle County in Delaware, where it flows through western and southern areas of the city of Newark and then turns northeastwardly, passing the town of Newport and approaching Wilmington from the southwest. It receives White Clay Creek from the west near Newport, and Brandywine Creek in Wilmington, approximately 2 miles (3 km) upstream of its mouth
