Click To Rate This Cache


Bats are welcome in the U.P. Michigan, they help control the population of the real bloodsuckers that inhabit the woods - by eating Mosquitos! This cache would be perfect for someone with a 4-Wheeler ATV.


AS USUAL FOR NIGHT CACHES, THE COORDINATES LISTED ARE NOT THOSE OF THE CACHE

Rather, they are to a convenient parking place and the start of your nighttime adventure. Here, you can relax until it is dark enough to begin the hunt. This cache will only be possible when it is dark. At night, it should be fairly easy and a lot of fun. The difficulty rating reflects the hike, and the special equipment you need.

For this cache, you need to bring a flashlight. You need a “good” flashlight, not a keyring LED or a single AA-cell Mag-light. If possible, you’d like it to project a beam out to 100 feet, though we’ve tried to place the markers closer together. You should also bring a friend with a flashlight. First, they provide you with a backup light in case yours fails. And second, it is always a good idea to have someone with you at night. They can help scare away any unwanted wildlife that might be out looking for dinner. Ideally, this friend should NOT be able to run as fast as you can.


To Find The Cache: (Please print this part out and bring it with you on the trail, follow the instructions closely)
The Hike is a total of 1.6 miles, 0.8 miles each way.

Start: Begin at the listed coordinates, the starting point of a semi-groomed trail, after it is fully dark, the darker the better. (You can leave your GPSr in the car). Turn on your flashlight and slowly illuminate the surrounding terrain. You are looking for two small silver round reflectors on the post that will mark the onset of your journey.

Middle: Continue to look for additional pairs of small silver round reflectors, walk towards them. Repeat the procedure, following the pairs of reflectors along the way.

Cache: You are looking for 2 PAIRS of small silver round reflectors, they will mark where to turn onto a smaller trail into the woods where you will continue to follow the reflectors.

End: The cache location is at the "X" made from five small silver round reflectors.

Return: To find your way back, return to the main trail and return the same way you came, to help you look for the single small silver round reflectors along the way.

If your log contains any spoilers, please encrypt them so not to rune it for others.
Also please trade even or up...
There is a lottery ticket for First To Find.

Have fun, but be safe and do not feed the animals.
