Container is in Millersville's Freedom Memorial Park which is open only in daylight hours. Park in legal parking.
Whenever I think about this cache and its stamp, I start singing the song.
This is a traditional letterbox hybrid. There's a stamp and inkpad in the small-ish container. Don't take them. If you don't have a stamp, just sign your name. You need to follow directions after you get to the black metal bench that is at posted coordinates. Note that there is poison ivy near groundzero. It shouldn't be in the pile of sticks that surround the container. But it is on the ground as well as on decoy spots that you shouldn't search. You should be able to see the container with your eyes because it is nestled behind a small tree in a pile of sticks.
If you find yourself searching with your hands in poison ivy, leave. Don't do that.
To find the camo duct taped wrapped quart container that has a purple duct tape lid ...
- Go to the black metal bench that is at posted coordinates.
- Look south to the woods and see a pole with two birdboxes and to its right a Dog Waste sign
- Counting (and remembering) your number of steps, walk to near the two birdboxes.
- Walk that same number of steps along the edge of the woods past the Dog Waste sign (walking roughly west and away from parking)
- You should now be near a vague opening into the woods where you see a large tree with English ivy on it. You should see two smaller trees to its left and closer to you. One of those trees has a pile of sticks; there was a distinctive pile there already; I did not collect all of those sticks. The container is behind the small tree in some thicker sticks.
- Please replace it upright in its nest after you sign the log. It should be readily visible if someone has stepped into the woods here and is looking. DO NOT HIDE IT BETTER.
