"This is a bonus cache to the "Coyote Run" cache. We were going to do a two stage multi but decided against it due to the length of the hike. The trail is well defined dirt with some slight washouts and tree roots, when wet it will be sloppy. We like to ride this trail on our mountain bikes but there are a couple of steep inclines we have to walk (She and I are novice mountain bikers). The container is a .30 ammo can the initial contents were: Compact binoculars, Compact first aid kit, Compass, Rain Poncho, Deck of playing cards, Mini Mag Light, 4 AA batteries, Log Book, Pen. Congrats to Buffalo Scout for being FTF." ~IMWalkin & ShesWalkinToo.

Don't have phone service in the park? Cooper Lake State Park has loaner GPS units available at the South Sulphur Unit in the front office with Geocaches already downloaded for your convenience. This cache is by the end of Coyote Run trail, be sure to pack some snacks and water. Wear hiking shoes and watch your step with roots and mud. The hike from the trailhead to this cache and back is about 4.8 miles and walking will take about 2 hours. Please put the cache back as you found it (or better than you found it, if not sealed or hidden properly) and respect our Leave No Trace policy by leaving all the wildlife as you found it. We love when our visitors take the initiative to help keep our trails clean: if you got what it takes, bring a trash baggie with you. If you see that the cache needs some love or that the trinkets are running low, shoot us a message. Don't forget to log your cache and leave us a comment. Happy caching!
