There are few night caches in the area, so when a fellow Scouting Leader asked if I could lead the Scouts on a nighttime geocaching hike, I jumped at the opportunity to place a night cache trail in the park.
This hike is not particularly difficult, nor is the destination picturesque. But the journey should be fun, especially for the kids (such as the Scouts) who may not have been on Joe Sam's "Secondary Trails".
Winter Note: The cache should be accessible in winter, but the trails may be knee deep in snow. It may require a fair amount of effort if the snow is deep. That part is up to you.
This is a fire tack trail. As retro-reflectors, it's best to wear a headlamp instead of carrying a flashlight. The path follows established trails, and I've tried to use regular colours along the path and different colours at turns. You won't necessarily be able to see the next marker from the past marker, but you should be able to see the next marker at any turn point. (so look around carefully at junctions)
Start at the posted coordinates, heading along the row of trees look in a North Westerly direction.
I used bright white reflectors at the start of the trail, but ran out of those and used dimmer golden reflectors as the trail progressed. Similarly, I ran out of "different colour" reflectors at turns. So the trail starts off easy, and gets progressively more difficult.
