Wall of Vegetation Cache
To reach this hide location, first take the trail which leads to the western side of the large open H-shaped field. The titular Wall of Vegetation runs along its southern edge. The Wall consists of stacked stone reinforced with organic obstacles such as trees, entangling vines and a daunting variety of thorny plants. Once you breach this outer line of defense, you must navigate through terrain abundant with the aforementioned vegetation.
This whole area is essentially a bio maze, at least that was my experience. Time and again I was thwarted by dense vegetation that enveloped and ensnared me. I can't recall ever encountering so many different varieties of plants with thorns.
However, if you prudently seek alternative routes instead of trying to plow forward like I did, I'm certain you will find a less vexing path to this geocache. That being said, you’d be foolish to attempt this in shorts and sandals. Boots, long pants and thorn resistant gloves are strongly advised.
Perhaps there is a relatively direct and easy route to this hide location. If so, it eluded me.
Please do not try to reach this hide location by trespassing on private property.
