Geocache Description:


The Nathaniel Trail consists of 17 caches.  Because alll 17 are part of the geoart, please don't forget to do your homework before setting out to find these caches.  For 14 of them, you'll need to enter a simple solution into Certitude in order to receive the actual coordinates for those hides.  To find caches 15-17, you'll need to carefully collect information from each of the 14 caches.  Some of the trails are used by equestrians, so be prepared to yield to riders.  And please pay attention to hunting regulations and schedules.  Wearing international orange is never a bad idea.  I've never seen one in Carroll County, but a bear was sighted in this area in December 2018, and others have been reported in backyards in Carroll recently.  So be careful as you hike these woods.  I strongly urge you to  solve all the little puzzles BEFORE you head for the trails.  All 17 caches could be found in a couple or three hours and three or four miles of relatively easy walking.  If you love birds, remember your binocular.  And if you don't love ticks, remember your Deet or chemical of choice.  As you cache, may you find joy and peace.  

Nathaniel became deftly good at opening nanos, even with his limited dexterity! As we cached one day, we talked about the container we were looking for and we told Nathaniel that it was a nano.  He smiled and put his fists up to his ears and said gleefully, "Nanu-nanu!" We all laughed hysterically at Nathaniel's hilarious play on words.  

To get coords to this cache, enter into Certitude the name of the show "Nanu-nanu" is from.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
