Geocache Description:


This is a challenge cache.  It is at the posted coordinates, however you must qualify as per the Project GC checker to claim a find.  You can sign it at any time and post a note saying you signed it, and then post your qualifications whenever you're able.

I've found that as my friends and I are getting older, that we frequently have physical maladies that keep us from caching as often as we'd like.  Some of us want to get the "fresh air and exercise" our doctors harp on us about but summer in Maryland is a brutal time to be outdoors.  

This challenge is for people like us.  Sure it counts as a walk, but barely.  

To qualify for this challenge, you must have found 100 caches with the Medium Hike attribute.

 

PGC Checker

I found my gps to be very bouncy in this part of the park. I tried my best with the coordinates, averaging a few different readings. You're looking for a bison hanging in a tree. 

This isn't far from the trail at all, but it's up to you to figure out which trail.  I couldn't really get my bearings here.

Please abide by park rules: no caching after sunset or before sunrise.  These trails are heavily used by mountain bikers, dog walkers, and some runners.  Please be on the lookout for them.
