Geocache Description:


***CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES***

Since I've gotten good feedback on the previous caches in the series, I'm going to add another.  I enjoy Unknown/Puzzle caches, so here's another one to add variety to this trail.  The answer can be derived by reading the description.  I'm not going to give out any hints until FTF is logged. Just think about the trail and it's roots. Then use logic to make the checker happy!  If you like this cache, consider giving it a Favorite if you've got the points to spare. If you don't like it, please send me a PM and let me know how I can make the puzzle and/or hide better. 

FTF receives an unactivated trackable or a free Micro container. There's also some small pieces of swag. No pen or pencil inside the cache, so please bring a writing untensil!  This container is on the small end of the small size spectrum. It's larger than a film canister, but smaller than a PB jar.

This is a nice and easy introduction to Makwa Ziibiins Miikana (Bear Creek Trail).  It's a really fun and easy trail on the far southeast side of Superior that meanders a little over 2 miles through beautiful trees and small creeks.  It's a wide trail that is well maintained.  There are several boardwalks and multiple bridges to help with the terrain. This is the 3rd entry in my "Bear Creek Trail" series.

From what I've found, this trail is open year round and allows hikers, bikers, and dogs. 

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
