Cache is not at the posted coordinates! As before, you must solve the puzzle below:
The new year has begun, and with it comes yet another puzzle in the My Odd Hobby series... And while this hobby might not be that "odd", but the name was purely in fun anyway. ;) Now, on with the puzzle!
The Puzzle:
I have loved board games for a long time, growing up in the middle of nowhere it was one of the few things I could do. My parents had (and still have!) a closet at the end of the hallway with shelves stocked with board games galore, everything from NASCAR Monopoly to Hungry Hungry Hippos to Racko to us kids' favorite niche game Loopin' Louie. We also had classic games like Risk, Clue, Scrabble, Battleship, etc. And how could I forget games like Sorry!, Trouble, and Life? Needless to say, we had a lot, and I loved playing them (even if my parents were less enthusiastic). But playing the same games got old eventually... And that's where my older brother comes in.
You see, my brother got very into board games - we're talking about driving across the state to attend board game tournaments level here. He began introducing new board games to our family, starting with Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride. All of a sudden, I was loving board games again! And my brother kept finding new games every year, next year it was Carcassonne, then Pandemic, then Whistlestop, and tons of other games. One minute we were playing Skull, next it was Azul, and then Mountain Goats... I could hardly keep up! I'm still not obsessed to the same level as my brother, but it's definitely fun getting to play board games with a group of friends or family.
Anyway, me and my brother were talking about board games recently, and he left me this cryptic message. I haven't been able to decipher it yet, but maybe one of you cachers can help me out? This is what he sent:

The Cache:
It's a micro in the woods... I know, I know, it's part of the challenge. Think of it like a little game of I Spy in the woods. ;) Terrain may vary depending on weather, and may not be available after heavy snows (that being said, there was a little bit of snow of the ground when I placed it...) It is not too small for some small coins or trinkets, and I have left a little reward for the FTF. As with my other puzzles, feedback on the rating is encouraged.
Congrats to JBExpress and RDC4106 on a shared FTF!
