Knowledge and use of a compass is required..
While out on a Christmas Day hike I decided to drop a couple things for you to find. This one might require use of google if you are not familiar with the requirement.
Stage one takes you to a very impressive White Oak Tree with open arms welcoming you. Has the remnants of a metal fence at base. To find stage 2, look North to the third mature tree. It resembles the White Oak but has less rough bark. This is the Chinkapin Oak aka Quercus meulenbergii. The two trees are mistaken for eachother regularly. Hint- the two trees in between are Ash and Sugar Maple. Stand against or next to the trunk and take a back azimuth of 18˚ @ 180' true. Geosense should zero you in on two obvious hide location possibilities. The final is within 15' of them.
Final is winter friendly if we don't have much winter. If winter is deep, dont even bother. It would up the Difficulty & Terrain to a 4.5-4.5/.Theres an easier way to get to this one and then theres the higher terrain way to get to it. Either way works, your choice.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE EXACT HIDE PLACEMENT BEFORE REMOVING IT SO YOU CAN RETURN IT AS YOU FOUND IT. This will give the next cacher the same experience you just had. If you just throw it back in, it wont have the same look. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy my geocaches. If you like them please offer a Favorite point. I put extra time into my hides so you dont just find a typical container hidden in a usual way. ( Readers get hints. hole in base of large Sugar Maple on ridge. As usual extra hints for those who read descriptions. You are now one step ahead of the other cachers who are in a rush ) I hide what I like to find.
May the Forest be with you and bring you Peace
