Geocache Description:

This is a two-mile round-trip multi-cache located in the Owen Putnam State Forest. As the name implies, some bushwhacking is involved!

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to locate a well camouflaged .30 Cal. ammo can. To get started, park at the trailhead just before you get to Rattlesnake Campground, grab your gear, and head for CHECK POINT ALPHA!

This is a four-stage multi-cache. The posted coordinates will take you to CHECK POINT ALPHA. Inside you will find the coordinates for CHECK POINT BRAVO. Then proceed to CHECK POINT CHARLIE. From there, you can find the final stage. All checkpoints are very well camouflaged decon containers.

Expect some briars, brush, mud, and a fair amount of walking.

Be a conscientious cacher, and don't be destructive when searching, and hide as well as you find it or better.

Good luck and have fun!
