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.
One Thursday afternoon while geocaching, we were navigating to a cache and I told jaf430 to make a turn onto Hoover Rd. All of a sudden, Nathaniel blurts out, "Vacuum?!?" and starts motioning like he is pushing a vacuum. Hilarious! He was making a connection to Hoover Rd and vacuums! For Christmas 2019, Nathaniel asked for a Dirt Devil so he could help Mom vacuum--see photo! What joy!
To get coordinates to this cache, enter into Certitude the YEAR that The Hoover Company was founded.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
