Geocache Description:


****This night cache has a UV feature that is not required to find the cache, however will enhance your caching experience****

The coords for this cache were given out pre-publication at the Ten Little Geocachers event.

Swamp Thing Night Cache Breaking News- Swamp Thing has reportedly been seen on the trails at Mendon Ponds. Your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to follow his trail throughout the park to find his secret hiding place.

You will follow his trail by following a set of round white fire tacks in the trees along the trail. if you find two fire tacks, that means you need to turn.

Once the terrain under your feet changes, you have entered Swamp Thing's lair. If you have a UV light, turn it on and start looking for additional clues to follow his path. There are fire tacks here too so the UV light is not required, but will allow you to find more clues. When you see three fire tacks, the final is nearby. The final has an unactivated glow in the dark travel bug for FTF (if found in a group this should be the person who first finds the container). There are also glow sticks and a small flashlight for trade items. Please replace the final exactly as found!
