Geocache Description:

When I began caching, there weren't many in Flat Rock, now the map is lighting up. I'll still be trying to bring a little something for everyone. This is a micro sized container.

 


Growing up along the Huron River, in Flat Rock, I learned about all kinds of knots. I was recently doing some research and the question of what a knot truly is came to my mind. This is the definition of a knot
    1 a :  an interlacement of the parts of one or more flexible bodies forming a lump or knob (as for fastening or tying together)
       b :  the lump or knob so formed
       c :  a tight constriction or the sense of constriction my stomach was all in knots

    2:  something hard to solve :  problem a matter full of legal knots

    3:  a bond of union; especially :  the marriage bond

    4 a :  a protuberant lump or swelling in tissue a knot in a gland
       b :  the base of a woody branch enclosed in the stem from which it arises; also : its section in lumber

    5:  a cluster of persons or things :  group

    6:  an ornamental bow of ribbon :  cockade

    7 a :  a division of the log's line serving to measure a ship's speed

       b (1) :  one nautical mile per hour (2) :  one nautical mile —not used technically

    8:  a closed curve in three-dimensional space

So what kind of knot are WE talking about here? The container is large enough for only a log,  you will need to bring a writing utensil with you. Please be sure to replace the cache exactly as found for the next person.


Note: The cache difficulty/terrain ratings are going to vary according to the time of year; given the fact it is located in Michigan, that could be every five minutes. I have used an averaged set of ratings due to this fact.
