Geocache Description:

The coordinates are fairly accurate. I triangulated in from different directions and the farthest I was off was by 15 feet. Considering the canopy, I think this was as best I could do.

GSOS LIVES!

(...and there were no crazy sounds in the woods while we were hiding it this time - so hopefully it won't mysteriously disappear without a trace)

This should be a fun cache for most.  If you drive a car, you will be able to park just off of the main road.  If you drive a truck, proceed at your own discretion.  If you drive a 4 wheel drive, get ready to have some fun.  This fire road will be quite muddy if it rains close to the time you visit.  Be prepared with shoes you don't mind getting dirty.  The road overall is not muddy, just a couple of bad places.  Hikers can always go around through the beautiful woods.  No need to blaze a trail because this little road, once you pick the right one, will take you straight to the cache.  Picking the correct road will be the trickiest of your tasks because they twist and turn.

Note to off roaders: there are some 35 - 40 degree tilts in at least one place so be prepared.  I was able to navigate to the cache location in my Jeep ZJ with no problems.  Turning around in the end will be a little tricky.  You may want to bring along a spotter.

The hike/drive will be exactly 1.1 miles (unless you pick the wrong road and have to blaze a trail to it!) in so bring some water.  Also remember to where orange during the hunting seasons.  I did not see signs of hunters back there, but you never can tell.

The cache is a glass container completely buried up to the lid. You should be able to uncover the lid and then take the lid off with out removing the container from the ground.
