This Cache was hidden at Tugaloo to highlight the Amphitheater and the Sassafrass Loop Trail! This short hike will take you through some very pretty areas of Tugaloo. Although only a short portion of The Sassafrass Loop Trail is used on this cache, the entire trail is approximately 4 miles in length from the trailhead located behind the visitor center. This is a fun park with many facilities to see and enjoy. So bring your sense of adventure!
You will be looking for an ammo can container moderately hidden. Use the short trail to the Amphitheater and then jump on the Sassafrass Loop Trail (Heading West - The trail is basically overmarked with blue trail markers). The container is located about 50 feet off of the trail where you can approach it by numerous entry points without forming any social trails. After you have discovered the cache and signed the log, please re-hide the cache well when you are through. The cache is locked with a combination lock. Below are the details on how to solve for that lock.
**COMBO LOCK**
In order to open the cache, you will have to solve a simple solution to get the lock combination.
1st Digit: Count the number of lights that line the entry trail to the Amphitheater.

4th Digit: Count the number of posts of the bridge. (Continue down the trail and you'll find the bridge. It is located about 200 yards past the second bench.)
There is a trackable with a mission for the FTF.
