While out enjoying a wonderful winter day hike through the serene woods of the Panamoka Pine Barrens, Ogus and I came upon a spot that seemed perfect to me for a small geocache. After placing this hide, we continued farther into the forest, hiding another, claiming a smiley on a 14 year old cache, and performing some CITO all along our way. What better way is there to spend a February day?
You're looking for a small snapware, hidden in typical fashion, about 30 or so feet off of a trail. Bring your own pen, as there is not one in the container. Please be sure to cover the cache up well when you are finished. And please consider doing some CITO of your own while enjoying these woods. Every little piece picked up makes a difference!
Happy caching, and enjoy the trails!
