Geocache Description:

This is a short, one stage, less than a mile long multi designed to be fun for kids and to remind us of some of the history of this area.

This starts at the Five Oaks information kiosk, which some of you have visited before. It’s an interesting place to stop and learn about the history of this area, which has been used as a gathering spot for hundreds of years beginning with Native Americans, then mountain men, settlers, and contemporary businesses. But it’s a crummy place to hide a cache.

So I hid a micro here with coordinates to the final cache. I need your help here though. I'm now on my fourth micro. I hid it in a way so that, should a car drive by (as they often do during work hours), you can pretend to be reading the fascinating information on the kiosk. Please be sneaky so passers-by won't wonder what else you may be looking so intently at or for. I don't want them to come back later and make me put a fifth micro out.

To reward you for the bother of having to fuss with a micro, the final cache is a nice, big, 11” by 7” by 6” ammo can, disguised to blend in with its surroundings. It’s in a quiet spot that seems, to me, to be a step back in time from the surrounding area.

There is an approach road west of the final cache, and one east. The west approach is closer to the Five Oaks pavillion, but if you go down (or leave on) the eastern road, you'll pass by a house that has peacocks that occasionally wander alongside the road. They too seem like something from an earlier time.

A lot of people use this spot during weekday lunchtimes for a quiet break or nap. If you come by then, please use stealth-caching techniques. After work hours, the area is almost deserted.

If you like the micro and want one of your own, send me a note and I'll tell you where I got it.
