Geocache Description:


          Cache is not located at posted coordinates, but it is an excellent place to park.

           Welcome or welcome back to Ryder’s Woods. This is my second/third time trying to place one here, but I think I ironed out some of the kinks from my last try, so fingers crossed that this does not go missing like my first attempt did. It is a sort of a multi and sort of a mystery. The later label fits a bit better.

            I love adventure caches that put me a bit out of my comfort zone, and that is what I have for you today. A challenging, slightly dangerous four stager. The first three stages are micros that can be found in any order you choose to go after them. Each has a piece of the coordinates for the final. The final is a small camouflaged container with a few trade items. It is a walk in the park to locate compared to what comes before it, if a little gross in places. There is very little hiking between stages. The difficulty lies in what you have to do at most of them.

         Do take a bit of caution when searching to not put yourself into a dangerous spot. Know your limits and have fun. I did not use any rope during my hiding of any of the stages, but you may want some depending on how comfortable you are. Please make sure to re-wrap any stage that seems too visible from the ground.

          If you want something more quiet to calm down after besting or getting bested by this one. I might suggest Relaxing At Ryder (GC9BBHG) which can be thought as this cache’s laid back hippie brother

          Cache is placed on The Land Conservancy Of McHenry County land with their permission.
