About this cache:
The cache that you are seeking is listed at the coordinates above. I have provided the nearest parking to the container. The container that you are seeking is a medium sized lock n lock container. Because this cache is a letterbox hybrid, there is a stamp and ink pad inside the container. They are in their own lock n lock to keep them dry and to not allow the ink to go all over the logbook. There is also a logbook and a couple of pens as well. The stamp and ink pad are NOT swag, so please do not take them. If the stamp does end up stolen, an imprint of the stamp is on the inside of the cover. You will need this information for GC9WEJ8. The cache is located not very far off the trail. This cache is in Harrison Hills County Park. The hours for Harrison Hills are dawn to dusk. So, please no night caching for this cache. Please beware that you could see people riding horses on the trails at Harrison Hills. If you do see someone riding a horse, please give them the right-away. If you start at the parking coordinates and use the trail head listed, you will stay on trails until you are about 100' from the cache. At that point, you will need to bushwhack through some tall grass and into the woods to arrive at the letterbox.
