Geocache Description:


July is the seventh month of the year, and it has 31 days in it.  July is typically the hottest month of the year as summer is in full swing.  Those long, hot days of July are often called the “dog days of summer”.  July was originally the month of Quintilis on the Roman calendar as it was the fifth month of the year.  It got its original name from the Latin word for fifth.  The name was later changed to Julius to honor Julius Caesar, who was born on July 12th.  The birthstone for July is the ruby.  There are two flowers for the month of July, and they are Larkspur and the Water Lily.  The two Zodiac signs for July are Cancer and Leo.

About this cache:

The cache that you are seeking is at the listed coordinates above.  I have provided the nearest parking to the container below.  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.  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 South Park.  The hours for South Park are dawn to midnight.  You can go after this cache at night if you choose to.  Located in a wooded grove, behind Hundred Acres Manor, you will find this letterbox waiting to be found.  During the growing season, the grass will be tall as you approach this location.  Watch for low spots in the grass, as they will be covered and most likely very mucky and water filled.  Upon entering the wooded grove, you will be searching for the remains of several down trees and within these remains will be the container you are seeking.  As a precaution, upon arriving back at your car, I highly suggest that you check yourself over for any ticks.
