Geocache Description:


START YOUR JOURNEY AT THE POSTED COORDS! The cache is not at that location.

Explore a small section of the largest Metro Park in Ohio, Battelle Darby Creek. Park at the Canoe access and start on Indian Ridge Trail between Cedar Ridge and confluence of the Big and Little Darby Creeks.This trail is not pet or bike friendly.

Starting from the parking lot, head north on the Cedar Ridge Trail.

Walk about a third of a mile and you will reach a small bridge.

Cross the bridge, turn off the trail to the right and follow the stream on the north side.

You will see a tree with two trunks. The cache is in the fork of the tree.

Letterbox Hybrids include a custom rubber stamp that you can use to stamp your own logbook. If you have a personal Letterbox stamp you can stamp our log or sign it normally.
