The sixth cache in this series is located along the Sheepwash Creek Trail. You are looking for a small sized sistema container big enough to contain a log and plenty of SWAG. Please use stealth along this trail as it is very popular with muggles and please ensure that you replace the container where it was found. In the warmer months be aware that native fauna of the slithery kind might like this area too!
Enjoy!!
