Geocache Description:

This is the second in a series of three active caches to reveal the secret of who Hemlock really is. Overall, there will be 10 Hemlock caches in this series, plus one bonus cache. (See the first one, "I'm Hemlock!") You can do this geocache without having done the first one.

This is a three-step multi-cache.

STEP 1: Standing near the above coordinates, look for something green behind a cannon. You will have to move around to find it.

You should be standing on a sidewalk or on an unused lot/field next to a business. You are near a telephone pole. Walking east, you can locate both items from this area. You have gone too far if you get to the next telephone pole.

Advice to KnightCrawlers: Chances are very high that you cannot do this step at night.

After you find it, go to the opposite side of the green thing, not the cannon.

After you complete step 1, SKIP STEP 2. GO TO STEP 3.

STEP 2: You will not find coordinates under a green disposer on one of the corners of the green thing found in step 1, but you will be in the general area.

STEP 3: Look for the cache among five large slabs of horizonal rock.

There is no room in the cache for anything but the log.

If you are successful, you have a right to declare that you are Hemlock to help disguise the real Hemlock because you definitely are Hemlock material. (See "I'm Hemlock!")

After completing this geo-cache, it is highly recommended that you get plenty of rest and get in your best mental and physical condition, because the final Hemlock geo-caches will be here before you know it!

Additional Hemlocks:
The other Hemlock caches soon to appear:
Six of them will be submitted for approval in April of 2006.
Their names will be approximately the following:
"Hemlock’s Shakespeare: Tu_be or not Tu_be"
"General Sherman’s Hemlock"
"Hemlock’s Art: Alien Creature"
"Hemlock’s Tooth Fairy"
"Double Trouble Hemlock"
"I can hear you now Hemlock."

The 7th and final Hemlock towards solving the puzzle of who Hemlock is will come out later. It is named: "HEMLOCK is lived".

The Bonus Hemlock will also come out later. It will be named, "Hemlock’s Pants".
