Geocache Description:


FIELD PUZZLE! PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION

This cache will take you to Trumbull Woods. Daylight caching only.  You will be off trail, so dress appropriately. Bug spray recommended in the summer. Waypoint for the footbridge to cross the ravine is provided – no need to raise the terrain rating to 4 or above.

At the posted coordinates you will find a LOCKed container.  First you need to determine the 4 letter combination to the LOCK to gain access to the next parts of the puzzle.  Once inside you will need to find what is different for both of the LOCKs for the simplest approach to access the log – or you can just try them all until you succeed.  There also is a separate container provided for Swag or Trackables.  The log does not go in there!  Please be sure to put everything back as found.  For the outer LOCK, close it first and then scramble the combination.

This cache is one of six caches in the 2024 Friends of Hudson Parks Geocaching Adventure series.  In addition there is a "FOHP Bonus - 2024" cache (GCAMX25) cache to be found.  Record the code included in each of the 6 caches on the Geocaching Adventure form (link to form) to determine the coordinates for the Bonus cache. See the form or the FOHP Bonus cache page for the details regarding receipt of a collectable coin and chance to win a $100 gift certificate.
