Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

Song by: Rush

I was recently looking through my placed caches and noticed there are four letters I've never used to start a cache name: F, O, U, and V.  So, I thought I would create an easy puzzle for you using one of missing letters for this cache title.  The puzzle is very easy and no checker is needed (if you find the "solution" you will have the corrected coordinates, I promise, no tricks), the letters mentioned are not a clue and are not needed to solve the puzzle.

While the puzzle is easy, this is NOT a cache and dash, you will need to walk about 20 minutes or less ROUND TRIP (depending on how fast you walk) to and from parking to the cache location, so take this into consideration if you are pressed for time or on a schedule. The path is level and is paved; access to the cache can be made without traveling too far off the path, however, the terrain is uneven and has plant life so it's not wheelchair accessible (unless you're realllly talented with some fancier manuvers and maybe have sportaid chair/ATW).

This is a busy trail. The container is small on purpose because unfortunately, other containers have become relics of the past, found legs and left, so I don't want people to put trackables into this container that could potentially go missing; remember to bring your pen/pencil/stamper.  The log is rite-in-rain paper.

Note: coordinates were taken on multiple days across a few weeks time during different times/weather with a Garmin 650 GPSr. No matter how good your phone or GPSr is, the readings can be different across different devices and at different times of the day. Even so, the location at GZ should become obvious (there is even a foreshadowing somewhere on this page, plus the hint). Have fun with a puzzle that won't lock you out of the solution!

Logging Etiquette:
1. Bring a pen, pencil, or stamper whenever you are caching.
Geocaching.com Guidelines on Logging: You must sign the physical log in the container in order to claim an on-line smiley. I will delete any logs that have not signed the physical log sheet.

2. Please have fun and tell about your adventure, but make sure you don't give SPOILERS about the cache container or hide. Any logs that tell details that spoil the cache, I will request that you change your log...if the log hasn't been changed I will delete it and request that you re-log it. Sorry, but that's part of the fun of finding and should be part of the fun for you to figure out how to write a log without giving away certain details. 

Please keep these tips in mind when entering your log. Thank you!
