Patience. Not one of my stronger points. The other day I came to
this park with the intention of hunting down a cache hidden here. I
was in a rush because of a late start, and neglected to pack my
rain gear despite the grim forecast. I also hastily keyed in the
cords after I arrived in the parking lot, so as you can imagine I
miss-typed and wound up heading in entirely the wrong direction.
Just as I started to realize something was seriously wrong, the
rain clouds let loose. I had to surrender, and went back to my car
without ever reaching my goal. 
On the bright side, I found one heck of a cool trail while
blundering about, and decided to place a multi along the path as
homage to my lack of patience.
The header coordinates are for Micro #1, which is near the parking
lot (on the other side of the river). This contains the location of
Micro #2. Micro #2 has the coordinates needed for the last stage,
an Ammo Box. Both Micros are orange cylinders, but don’t expect
them to be in plain sight.
IMPORTANT: All components of the hunt are near the Red ‘Ordway’
Trail (rated as 'Hard’ terrain on the Preserve map). You will be
tempted to bushwhack between the Micros when you quickly see
yourself within 300 feet, but it is NOT recommended and would
probably be dangerous. Learn from my mistakes and BE PATIENT! Stay
on the trail! You will have a safe approach and enjoy the hike
more.
Have fun, and good luck!
