Geocache Description:

Located about 60' off of the Shaw Lake Trail in Clark State Forest. Trailhead is located off of Brownstown Road north of Henryville.

Everybody fears micros in the woods. Everybody fears bears. Isn't it logical to fear bears in the woods? And if that's the case, shouldn't we fear micro bears, especially micro bears in the woods?

Folks, this isn't semantics. We've got a crisis here, and it's high time we confront our fears.

That's your job. Mine is to see what happens.

The great safari hunter and world renowned outfitter, Jacques Herter, said that the best and only reliable way to get any attacking animal to release you and run away immediately was to spit into its mouth. He conceded that this takes a great deal of courage and equanimity, but he swore it works. He would know. He had seen it all. Except maybe how to repulse an attacking jelly fish.

This is your defining moment. This is the time to summon up your courage and confront that bear in the woods.

Good luck and Godspeed!
