A cache to be found in
darkness, not regular darkness but advanced
darkness!
This is our second night cache,
replacing Sea Bear's Advanced Darkness, so be prepared! The cache
is designed to be found only at night! To start with, this cache is
located in Tinker's Creek State Park, placed with the permission of
Ohio's State Parks. Tinkers Park is located at 10303 Aurora Hudson
Rd.in Streetsboro.
Tinkers Creek State Park is a
wetland area, lakes, swamps and ponds, so bring bug repellent in
the Summer months because of the mosquitoes and deer flies. The
park is open from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM
What you're going to need, to
start, a good flashlight, we tested this cache several times, we
find that head lamps with red lights, or a flashlight with a red
filter works great to find the trail. You'll need good footwear,
boots are highly recommended, waterproof boots. The trail has many
roots that will trip you up, so you're going to need patience, take
your time! A hiking stick may be helpful too! Make sure you mark
the location of your car! bring a cell phone and a friend or
two, night caches are more fun with a group!
The coordinates will get you to
the trail head You can not drive to the trail head, you'll have
to park some distance from the trail head and hike to the trail
head. Look for reflectors to mark the trail to the cache. They
will only be clearly visible at night. To see them best, hold your
flashlight at eye level, they'll glow amber. That's why one of
those head lights work so well. Make sure you watch your step, take
your time. The trail head has three reflectors, from there look for
the reflectors and follow the trail. When you see three reflectors
down the trail veer right and keep following the reflectors until
you see a tree with 6 reflectors. Once here the cache is within a
75ft radius. You'll know when you get close to the container, trust
us! Be sure to hide the cache EXACTLY as you found it or the next
cacher may be disappointed. The latch to open the container is on
the front end of the container, PLEASE DO NOT LET THE LID SLAM
OPEN!!! Please make sure the cache is closed tightly and hide
it so the next person can enjoy the fun!
Be sure to mark your vehicle and
the trail head because it gets pretty dark and it's easy to get
turned around and scared!
