TLGC19: Too darn hard. Five stars is not sufficient! Plus it is deep in the woods, seldom visited and a pain to keep maintaining.

Geocache Description:


No text or pictures as in previous of the series.  No, just enough room for log paper and the world's smallest log pencil although the outer container is small to medium size. 

I've had fun with this series trying to create convincing illusions.  How exactly do we perceive the world?  We see things....then our brain tries to fit them into known patterns.  When we are young and inexperienced maybe we see monsters hiding under the bed.  As we get older and wiser we know there is nothing under the bed but dust bunnies....but how much else are we now not seeing because we have grown accustomed to certain normal patterns?  A good illusion will always fool you at first glance.  You go on about your business, or in this case your hunt.  But something just isn't right.  A nagging doubt starts to grow.  You start to look at things from different perspectives.  

Is there anything as fragile as our illusions?  Please remove and replace this cache with care, it is delicate.  And I always appreciate a heads up when the elements start to take their toll.  Once you see this one you'll understand.  

Note that if you are doing this series on bike this would be the first you attempt.  Having not seen how I do camo you might struggle.  If you've found 1-4 already you might get a feel for what I'm going for on this one.

There is a hint below, but special Mention in Dispatches Honors for anyone who can say they found it without the hint !!!!
