Geocache Description:

Is it really here? I think so. I lost it while hiding it and I knew what and where it was.

Cache is a micro container unlike any seen in this area prior to this posting. Let's just say, it's smaller than a 35mm film canister. TheNomad clued me into this particular container (like http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCH3YB) and others have given me ideas on how to hide this type of container, most recently WebFargo #3 (see http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCF95B).

Best of luck locating cache as this area even without tree cover has poor GPSr reception, and very unstable and highly random readings. I was 70 yards away down to 1 foot away. I took reading for over 15 minutes, both with a track log and waypoints, with WAAS enabled and disabled as well so I could get as accurate an average as possible.

From one second to the next readings jump all around, so just be aware that if the readings are off a bit, I did try.

Oh yeah, the cache is located near bikeway / trails of the Blackwater Creek Natural Area, with many places to park. Enjoy the area, and hopefully find the cache. If not, it's still a great place to just hang out.

Park is open dawn to dusk. Take care and observe signage. A mountain bike is not required, and will possibly make the last couple hundred feet more difficult. The first hundreds of feet will be more fun on something with wheels (rollerblades or bike). A road bike could even be used for all but the last bit. Just have fun getting there.

Oh yeah, take a pencil as the cache is a log-only cache.
