About this cache: The Houghton Lake Area Visitor's Bureau welcomes all to Roscommon County!  Enjoy the O R B GeoTour, and if you would like more information on Roscommon County, stop in to the office or check out the brochures in the rack outside the office door.

Just a cache to challenge your skills.  Be sure to sign the logboook and find the code word before leaving the cache.

This is a gadget cache. It takes more than pulling on the botton drawer pull to open it. The bottom drawer is for SWAG. After opening the bottom drawer, you need to figure out how to open the top drawer to get the log and code word. Please be gentle with the cache.
