Geocache Description:


CACHE INSPIRATION

In honor of International Cat Day, I am putting out my second letterbox hybrid.  The only other LBH cache I put out was my Power Line Point of Entry cache which was placed on 2/7/10 and was archived in September 2011 so it been over 20 years since I have had an active LBH cache. I am also putting this cache out as the current HQ challenge requires finding multiple cache types which includes LBH. Theres not as many LBH caches around, so I am adding one to the game board.

This cache is cat-themed as you will see when you find it. We have three cats including a brown tabby, an orange tabby and a black short hair cat. None of which would make a good caching companion as they hate car rides which is likely due to car rides being associated with trips to the vet. We love our cats and thought it was fitting to put a cache out.  Now on to finding this cache:

LETTERBOX DIRECTIONS

The listed coordinates also act as parking coordinates. From the cement blocks head down the hill towards the Cedar River Trail. Once at the trail, make a right.

Follow the trail until you come to a more wooded area of the trail on your right. You will be looking for a social trail that peels off the Cedar River trail on your right. If you come to a bridge over the Cedar River, you have passed it. To make sure you dont miss it, I have added a waypoint to mark where you will leave the Cedar River Trail.

Once off the mail trail, follow the trail into the woods. Stay left. The trail somewhat ends at a fallen tree/log. You dont need to go any further than the log. Once there, focus your search to your right. Look for a small fern growing next to the log. You will find the hide there.

For those that choose the high tech route, I have included an additional waypoint for the cache location. Your walk from the listed/parking coordinates is about .22 miles. There is an FTF prize for the first finder. Oh yeah, the stamp is NOT the FTF prize nor is SWAG. It remains in the cache, please.
