About this Cache.
This is a simple field puzzle cache - there is NO container at the listed coords. At the posted coordinates, there is a plaque with ten lines of text, you will take info off the plaque to get the coords for the final. There is parking next to the plaque. A trailhead is listed in the additional waypoints and there is parking at the trailhead. The trailhead is about a quarter mile from the plaque.
The area just beyond the final location is peaceful and there is a log "bench" to sit on and enjoy the area. The geoson came with me when I placed the cache and had a great time. He pointed out some poison ivy near the cache location, but there is no need to touch/move it to find the cache. That could change depending on where it decides to grow next.
The cache is located at: N40 5A.BCD W77 4E.FGH
