If you know the answer to this age-old question then you may not have any trouble finding the clue at the first waypoint and the rest is easy. This area is public property and lots of people walk their dogs or jog here. The area is posted as “no hunting” so it is safe any time of the year for you and your dog but keep in mind that there is a leash law. You may see deer, beaver, coyote, herons, and other wild animals in this area. There is a large off-road parking lot near the entrance gate. The area is wheelchair accessible. The trails are basically flat, 8-12 feet wide, and kept mowed by the city of Rochester. The total round trip distance is about 1.8 miles and there are a few different loops you can take to get there, one nice route follows along the river. Just remember that you DO NOT have to dig or disturb anything in ANY way to find the clue at the first waypoint, you don’t even have to leave the trail. It can easily be found in winter and, as the name of the cache implies, is not small, but it may not be at all obvious. Also in your log you cannot post any hints or mention what the clue is in any way. I will delete logs that I feel give even the slightest hints (or puns) and you will have to relog. Please don’t deprive anyone of the pleasure (or anguish) of solving this puzzle. If you let your GPS average you should find the coordinates for both waypoints to be pretty close to the listed values, perhaps 10 feet, and both are at something of significance so there should be no doubt about the landmarks used. Please rehide the cache well but not in the woodchuck hole! Good luck. NOTE: 08-17-05 This is public property-respect it! I have found signs of damage at waypoint #1. Read the above underlined notice and DO NOT DISTURB ANYTHING at the first waypoint.
