Geocache Description:

POSTED COORDINATES ARE BOGUS!!

To get the coordinates for this cache, you will need to find all seven caches in this series. Under the lid of each of these caches, you will find part of the coordinates needed to get the final cache. Once you have them all, use the following to get the coordinates to a redirector that will provide the coordinates for the final bonus cache:

N AB° CD.EFG
W HI° JK.LMN

Redirector is a matchstick container; bonus cache is a 50-cal ammo can.
NOTE: I had to put out a replacement container for the redirector. It is not currently a matchstick container, but a small lock-and-lock.
All caches are straightforward hides in Buescher State Park, placed with the supervision and approval of Park Specialist Cullen Sartor, with assistance from Park Intern Kathren May. Because you’ll need to find all seven, the difficulty is raised for this final cache.

This is a 4-mile loop hike from the parking coordinates. NO BIKES are allowed on this trail! Plan on at least 2 hours if you’re going to do the entire series. Make sure to bring plenty of water.

Because this is a Texas State Park, either an annual pass or a day pass is required to hike. The current daily fee is $4 per person age 13 or older.

FTF prize is a $25 movie pass.

Congratulations to DocGeo for FTF!

“But this is touching, Severus,” Said Dumbledore seriously. “Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?”

“For him?” shouted Snape. “Expecto Patronum!”

From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.

“After all this time?”

“Always,” said Snape.
