Geocache Description:

The search begins at the Long Lake Foot Trailhead on Briggs Road. You can park there. It follows paths and a boardwalk. Be prepared for a hike...about 2 miles round trip. Set a waypoint at the car and bring mosquito repellent. All three stages are located close to the trail. No need to bushwhack.

Dust off your chemistry book. You'll need a little knowledge about the periodic table to complete this cache. If you don't have a copy, we've provided some at the first stage. Feel free to take one with you. You will need it. Please return it on your way back.

The coordinates above are for the first stage.

Leaf cover can be a problem.

The contents have a science theme and are geared for kids.
