Geocache Description:

This Night time cache shows just how dark the sky in Northern Arizona can be. Could be the reason several working Observitories are operational in the area.

The coordinates listed will take you to the Campbell Mesa recreation access. To get there take Country Club drive to the ball fields and turn left onto Old Walnut Canyon Rd. it will bank right and continue as a dirt road, the trailhead is just a short distance. At the posted coordinates go through the gate and continue on that road East. (Do not park in front of the gate as there are occasionally authorized vehicles that use the road at any time, day or night.)
When the trail goes off in several differnt directions look for reflectors in the trees and follow them. These are special reflectors they reflect directly back to the light source. So remember to hold your flashlight at eye level. They are very small but also very bright.
The Code;
One reflector, pass this way; Two reflectors together, OK to go off trail; Single red reflector, too far go back; Nothing, took wrong fork ;)
