Geocache Description:


So EPIC, it's in the name twice!

This is a multicache of an indeterminate number of stages that will take you throughout Macdonald Forest region. If you've done my Mac's Mossy Mountainous Murderous Malevolent Multi cache GC2P41A, you have some idea on how this one goes. This cache is NOT for the faint of heart and will take a significant amount of time to complete. It spans most of Mac Forest and is over 20 miles in length if you walked/biked it straight through, though it would be considerably shorter if you drove to the nearest parking. I think it clearly earns it's difficulty rating and if I could, I would make it a D6. If you are someone who doesn't enjoy hiking, mountain biking or field puzzles, simply skip this one. The good news is there is no time limit and I encourage you to take your time and enjoy the outdoors, one (or two) stages at a time. The field puzzles, for the most part, do not require cell service (one probably does). I have found I don't have coverage at the trailheads but do further up. These are field puzzles and as such likely require paper and pencil to work out. Please be prepared and bring your own as I didn't provide any scratch paper in any of the stages.

I included several pictures I took along the way. They may or may not be helpful.

Start your EPIC adventure here!.
