Area 829 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Sludge_Shoveler: Thank you, bigfishes, for alerting me to the muggle activity and condition of the cache. I found the cache debris just as described and cleaned it up.

I placed a new cache nearby but not the same place as whatever muggle was pig enough to steal an ammo can and spread the contents all over the woods, may be pig enough to come back to do it again.

Thanks to all who visited my cache (except for the porcine muggle).

Geocache Description:

This is a difficult cache for a highway rest area. It involves some bushwhacking and stream hopping.

Park at N 42 38.038, W 084 42.974 from North bound I-69. Any other parking location will take you across private property.

Cache container is a CoyChev Ammo Box with the usual assortment of goodies including a log book and pencil.
It is only a quarter mile from the parking lot but it is a quarter mile of bush whacking and seasonal steam hopping.
It is not winter friendly but I expect it will be less summer friendly due to bugs and brambles. I did not see any trails, but MDOT is thinking of putting some in next year.

It is a mature beech-maple woodlot with plenty of wildlife. I saw a half dozen deer while placing the cache.

Rating: Originally 3/4, but due to several comments saying it wasn't that hard, I downgraded it to 2/3. It can be challenging depending on route and time of year. An experienced cache hunter will not have a problem, but small children may find the brambles daunting.

Like most Rest Areas, this one has picnic tables, water, restrooms, vending machines, telephones, dog run, & open 24 hrs.
