Please use stealth when at stage 3 as it may be a muggle-infested location at certain times of the year. Please replace the cache as found to maintain the difficulty. A compass rose geotoken is inside for the first to find. The cache contains ready-made micro cache containers composed of a bison tube and micro log. Please take one and hide a new cache! A small amount of kid-friendly swag is also in the cache. Permit is on file at the park office.
