Geocache Description:

Easy to get to but will be hard to find, cache is located in Beech Hill Park. Cache is within 15 feet of a walking trail so no bushwacking is required. Woods are silvacultured and open to walk in. Several ways to access trail. Seasonal cache, new items will be added and old ones removed, there will be some carryover of items and the usual log book and pencils.

Sheerluck Holmes, a nephew of the famous English consulting detective, has a mystery he needs your help in solving. He has been tracking Greywolf who has cached his swag in a secluded spot. Greywolf is a cunning chap, as he has hidden a decoy cache nearby to fool any would be seekers. From clues, Sheerluck has deduced that the real cache is within an eight foot diameter circle of the decoy cache and is camouflaged to blend in perfectly with its surroundings. Sheerluck is unsure as to the contents of the cache as Greywolf often adds to it when he finds some interesting new swag. There is always something in the cache - just what, is a mystery! Sheerluck knows he must find this cache before the deep snow of winter or it will be irretrievable till spring.
NOTE: This cache really will be buried under several feet of snow so it won't be possible to retrieve it till spring melts the snow. NOT WINTER FRIENDLY. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME CLEAR CUTTING HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT BUT THE CACHE IS STILL SAFE AND SOUND.
