Geocache Description:

This cache is payback for the many challenges of the multi-caches I have done the last 11 months. Some complicated. Some lengthy. Some evil. Some sublime. Some requiring me to think. This cache has all of that and more!

In this beautiful wooded area, accurate coordinates were difficult to attain. I took 60+ readings for each waypoint on at least 3 different days. The given coordinates are averages of all those readings.

* * DISCOVER PASS REQUIRED!! * * * * DO NOT LEAVE ESTABLISHED WALKWAYS OR SOCIAL TRAILS

* * Due to the difficulty in getting good coordinates, each waypoint is located where either a tree or a structure will be the obvious place for something to be hidden.

* * DO NOT BUSHWHACK except to waypoint 2. (If tempted to do so elsewhere, go a bit farther to find a trail.)

* * If you are having difficulty with any part, send me an e-mail with the details of your search and the coordinates for the waypoint you are struggling to find.

* * KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND

* * This cache may take more than one trip to complete. Feel free to post notes with your progress. These are not DNFs. DNFs for this cache will be times when you cannot locate a waypoint or the final location and you'd like my assistance in getting extra hints.

* * TERRAIN RATING IS DUE TO LONG WALK

* * Currently there is a bushwhack for about 100' or less to waypoint 2 once you leave the main trail. The little social trail has become overgrown. I originally did all of the work on this cache while wearing shorts. On your walk, take time to stop explore the area near waypoint 2.

FTF prize is either the 5x7 underwater photo or the Yellow Jeep TB. STF gets the one the FTF leaves behind.
