Geocache Description:


Cache is not at posted coordinates. A solution checker can be found on the webpage for this puzzle.

Fall is a great time to be out on the trails experiencing the season, and it is also the start of hunting season. Geocachers should be wary of hunters, as they often cover the same ground. It is important to be safe. Confusion over property lines and locations happens. This puzzle is your reminder to wear something bright while out hiking. More information about public places where hunting is allowed here.
