This cache is on trail #4 in Charlestown State Park. The trail head is collocated with that of trail #3 at 38º 25.640 085º 37.773. You're looking for a 7.62 mm ammo box. It has been stocked with decks of cards and some card games for kids.
The nice lady on duty at the park entrance said that trail #4 is 4 miles long. The temporary sign at the trail head states that the trail is under construction and is very long and rugged.
Rugged, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beerholder. While this trail is serpentine in places and has a number of moderate hills, there are also long stretches of fairly flat terrain and the path is wide and, for the most part, footing is secure.
The trail is less than 4 miles long. When I had completed the loop my GPS's odometer (admitedly not the most precise measure) indicated 3.67 mi, but I had done a great deal of back tracking and left the trail to explore a number of times.
None of this is meant to imply criticism. Trail 4 is a welcome additon to the park.
Satilite reception is poor in the area of this cache.
This being the last cache I placed today, it is named for the Glen Miller tune that I could not get out of my head for the entire time I was hiking the trail. This is a fairly frequent occurrence for me and seems to me as rational a naming strategy as any other, so look foreward to caches named "Strange Meadow Lark", "Velvet Moon", "Rhapsody on a Theme of Pagannini", and the like.
