A good outdoorswoman or outdoorsman can track animals by their prints, but a great outdoorswoman or outdoorsman can track them by their scat!

D/T rating takes into consideration both the puzzle and the hide. There is a bit of GPS bounce in the area, so a hint was made available to help. Be prepared for ~500 feet of bushwacking. Solution Checker available to verify coordinates. This should go without saying, but please do not cross private property to access the cache - there is no need to do so!
There is no pen in the cache, so make sure you bring one. A FTF micro coin was left for the FTF. Do NOT attempt this cache if you dislike toilet humor as you may find the hide kind of...crappy. There, I said it. You have been warned!
