Geocache Description:


This is a challenge caches and the final IS at the posted coordinates.  You can sign the log any time, but cannot claim the find until you have met the challenge as listed below. There is no parking along Marksheffel Rd so please see the parking waypoints. There is sidewalk the whole way so walking or biking it is great.

 

This hide requires a tree climb. Please note that the branches can be sappy. Bring gloves and don't wear your favorite clothes. Hand sanitizer is great for removing sap from hands and clothes.
