Geocache Description:


Nightcache

 

I came across this wood serendipitously and decided to set a cache that glories in that principle. You know... Blind luck.

All of the coordinates are hidden. There is a trailhead waypoint to start you off. The listed coordinates are for parking. Walking from the waypoint into the wood, eventually the path forks to become a loop at the end of the wood. All tags and the final are on this loop.

There are four NFC tags installed next to fluorescent wrist-snaps on limbs up trees.

  • Each tag contains the coordinates of the final.
  • Each tag contains an image of the final tree.
  • Each tag contains the coordinates to another tag.
  • Each tag also contains one of four pieces of information for the bonus cache Serendipity Bonus.

You might spot all four. You might only spot one. You only need one. Get your torch out.

The final is a three-inch bison that looks like this one.

 


DO NOT CLIMB ABOVE YOUR ANCHOR. MAINTAIN A SECURE CONNECTION, WITH RATED GEAR, TO THE TREE AT ALL TIMES.

If you are in a team, or just fancy having a big old explore of this canopy, please install a cambium saver.

Nobody - not me, not geocaching.com, not your lucky pants - is responsible for your safety apart from YOU. Do not attempt if you are at all unsure. No part of this description is intended to provide any guidance or instruction whatsoever. Make sure you are personally competent to complete this challenge.
