Geocache Description:

This is located in Shepard State Park which is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. There is $2 entrance fee. You can also get Shepard's Flock cache and get 2 for the price of 1! You are in the woods, so remember to look out for snakes, ticks, etc. You may have to do some minor bushwacking. Coords for final location were sampled 300 times for average.

The above coords take you to Lulie Shepard's Garden. From there, you will derive information to get to the final location which is a camoflaged 30 cal ammo can. We started it off with items you may need hiking in the woods. The final location is about 60 ft off the main hiking trail. This trail starts at the entrance to the park.
