Update! The rock that corresponds with clue #4 has recently been moved about 20 feet from its original location due to intense overgrowth. Make sure you check the uploaded pics below for additional hints to find this rock!
There has been some confusion about the hints on this cache page. Please be aware that the hint listed below that is titled "start location" is the hint for the coordinates listed under the title of the cache on this page. The clues 1-4 all match with their appropriate rock. In other words clue #1 DOES NOT pertain to the coordinates printed at the top of this page.
This forest is used widely by area schools for environmental education. One of the major attractions of this forest is the Nolde Mansion, which can be accessed seven days a week, however, if you wish to park there or visit the library inside it, you will have to do so during weekly office hours, from 8am-4pm. There are picnic tables by the Mansion if you wish to bring your lunch. Dogs are permitted and must be on a leash. Mountain bikes are not permitted. Make sure you get a good satellite lock at the parking area as there are locations in this forest which can be difficult for reception. Following the trails will put you close to each cache. You should not have to bushwhack to reach the general area of any of the cache sites. You will have to do a little bushwhacking to get to the final cache site. Please do not include any coordinates or spoilers of the cache locations or data recorded there, in your online log. If you feel any of the coordinates are off, please notify me by email.
Starting location:
This area is particularly moody for a GPS, make sure you have a good lock before you get close to the area. You will be searching for a rock near a tree. The rock will provide you with a set of coordinates to your next location and a number referring to one of the clues on the printout. It will not provide any more information than that.
Locations two through five:
These caches are also rocks, and each one will provide you with three pieces of information at each location:
1. Coordinates to the next multicache
2. A number to plug into the final coordinates and will look something like this:
N40 20. XXX - OR - N40 XX. 436
Where you would record the '20' or the '436' as your data.
3. A number referring to the corresponding clue on this printout to help you find the next cache.
All the rocks used are about the size of your hand or slightly larger. Please make sure the rocks are replaced in their original hiding spots with the data side down. Once you have all the numbers to form the coordinates, you can then proceed directly to the final cache site.
The final cache site does get some traffic, please rehide it well. The cache is an ammo box.
Have Fun, Happy Hunting, and enjoy the Walk!
