Geocache Description:

This cache is located halfway up a hill that is at about a 45 degree angle.

Be sure to park near the trail head located at N44*46.854 W073*22.697. This near the Nature Center, not the Point au Roche State Park. You could park at the park itself if you are the kind of person who enjoys hiking much farther and paying a small fee for parking. Parking near the trail head coordinates is free, and well, closer to the cache. The cache is located within a few hundred feet of two trails that run along either side of the location.

Once you find the approximate location, you will need to hike about half way up a moderately steep (about 45 degree incline) hill where the cache will be hidden somewhere. GPS coverage in this area is poor due to all of the dense tree cover, though accuracy may improve and/or decline based on season and your current location. Therefore, your GPS cooordinates may be off by about 10 feet or so.

Cache is contained inside an ammo box that has been painted to match its surroundings. Getting to it requires that you either hike in above the hill and slide down on your back side or climb up with your feet while holding on to trees until you reach the location.

The original cache includes the following items:
* Notebook (every cache has this)
* 2 Pencils
* VHS copy of the X-Files Movie
* A 1" glass marble
* An old metal gear
* A Bob The Builder "Scoop" Toy
* A Ghostbusters II Pin
* A small (3" x 5") American Flag
* A Mexican Peso
* A $1 Bill

Please remember to sign the log and re-hide the cache after your visit.
