Coords. had to be updated due to Katrina. Cache is an ammo can container If you don't already own a headlamp, go get one! We can't stress enough how much easier this cache will be if you use a headlamp instead of a regular flashlight.

Stars is back !!!! The path has changed due to major changes in the area since Katrina. Go get it again for the heck of it if you want. Book and I had a great time re planning this cool cache we had to walk it a few times for the heck of it too ;) In order to find this cache, you will need to go when it is dark outside. So, with the possible exception of an eclipse, you will need to go sometime during the night. The posted coordinates will bring you to the place where your trek will begin. It is very important to bring an LED headlamp. Other light sources will work, but not nearly as well as a headlamp. If you insist upon using a regular flashlight, it is important to hold it as close to your head as possible. You are looking for a blazing trail of stars that have descended from the sky to about as high as your head / chest area (maybe a bit higher). When you reach each group of stars, look around with your HEADLAMP and you should see more of them in the distance. You will know when you have reached the cache when you see the stars dip low to the ground (knee hight or so). The cache is tied down with a black rope, please make sure to tie it again after you find the cache, and re-hide it well.
Use your own judgement while searching for this cache, it is at night in the dark/dusk/dawn, so be careful. If you feel uncomfortable doing this, or any cache, don't do it. We recommend you bring a friend, and make sure to have a backup lightsource.
Area is subject to spring flooding so be careful
Use bug spray and watch for poison ivy/oak (we didn't see any but you never know so watch out) (headlamp) in case your primary one fails.
