This cache is at Quail Hollow State Park, 13480 Congress Lake Avenue, Hartville, Ohio, 44632. The terrain is easy for just about any age. The reason why I gave the terrain rating a 2 becuse there is a swamp with lots of bugs. There is a bridge that is over a swamp. You might see some frogs. Remeber to wear bug repellent because the bugs and misqtoes are bad. Watch out for poision ivy. There is little bushwacking involved. The cache is 25-50 feet from the path. The scenery is nice. Cache on!

Bikes and horses are not allowed on this path! Sorry, these aren't my rules, they are Quail Hollow's rules! Only strollers, joggers, and walkers are allowed. No Horses or Bikes!!
Quail Hollow has some cool bike trails and horse trails, so check em out!
For those of you who said that my coordinates were a little off, I will work on those when I get a chance. Sorry for the inconvience.
This cache is on paths! So stay on the paths! Dont take any shortcuts! They will get you lost! There is no bushwacking, except when you get 25-50 feet from the cache. The correct way to the cache is by going from the parking lot to a paved path that leads to a big white house (Manor House) and a few other littler ones (Visitor Center, Gift Shop, and Carriage House). The paved path expands into a big paved driveway with the houses I told about earlier. Go through the opening between these houses. Look at the old 1900s firehose that is on display outside! It is really neat! Once you get through the opening, you will take a left curve. Once you have done that you will see another paved path to the right that has 1 wooden post (If I am not mistaken) that says no bikes or horses. Take that path. To the right there is a picnic area, and then farther up you will see the Herb Garden. Keep going for about 25-50 feet and you will see a path to the left called the Peatland Trail. It is made out of woodchips, so no mud, and no bushwacking. Take that path. You will see that it leads to the swamp. Lots of bugs. The swamp will end into a dirt path with a few steps in it. Keep going straight until you see a fallen uprooted tree that has a 3 way path. You will see a sign that says Woodland Swamp. Take that path. (Left a little bit). Keep going straight and let your GPS take care of the rest. Good luck,and have fun!
This cache is hidden in a green ammo case with an Offical Geocaching Sticker on it.
