**Cache is not at Posted Coordinates**
Lumos is a handy piece of magic that can turn a wand into a torch. Since we don't all have wands yet (some of us are still waiting for our letter from Hogwarts), we can use what muggles use instead...Flashlights!
Please be careful when walking at night, for the most part, the path will be clear to follow, but near the cache location, you will have to watch your step around some palmettos.
You will start at the posted coordinates and shine your flashlight until you see a firetack (on a wooden post). They are located on trees/poles and will light your path. Single tacks means you are following the right path. When you see 2 firetacks at the same location, you need to turn immediately to the left, to enter the path at the bushes. Shine your flashlight down to the ground to watch your step and to find the final set of firetacks. When you find the 4 firetacks placed together, slowly shine your flashlight up and you will see the cache.
Please bring your own writing instrument
