Geocache Description:


The name says it all. Another cache nearby might possibly intimidates some (this may just be in my mind) so perhaps another closeby will draw cachers.

This cache is located near the highway but down a trail about 1/10th of a mile, within the I.D. Fairchild State Forest area. There is a wide highway shoulder and plenty of firm roadside where you can park to go grab the cache. But there are many miles of trails located in this area. You might wish to enjoy the beauty of the Pineywoods. It is also located along the route of the Texas State Railroad and there are large looming Pine trees managed by the Texas Forest Service. You can learn more about the area a this website- (https://tfsweb.tamu.edu/fairchild-state-forest/). A map of the hiking trails and other trails can be found here- (https://tfsweb.tamu.edu/uploadedFiles/TFS_Main/Learn_and_Explore/Texas_State_Forests_and_Arboretums/FairchildSF.pdf).

Be sure to visit some of the other caches nearby that are maintained by the Texas Forest Service. Note that as always in these parts, there could be bugs and/or snakes, so watch your step.

This cache is my second nearby. No one seems interested in the first, but it is a real unique cache the type of which I have only ever seen two other times. Give it a try while in the area.

This is a small pill container a little smaller than your fist with only a log. Don't forget to bring your stamp or ink pen. Coordinates were a bit tricky in these tall trees. Hint- Walking the trail from Hwy 84, when you are in the zone, at this time there is little or no underbrush and it is off the trail a few steps to your left. It is not above your head, and it is not on the ground.
