This multi is located in the Gage State Forest, just south of Roby Park. Parking can be found at: N42 42.491 W071 27.826 There are two ways to enter the trails, the first is between the parking lot, and the Oak Hill Condominium driveway, the second is halfway up the sledding hill on the far side of the field. Either will get you there.
The published coordinates are for the first WP.
The total roundtrip distance to do the cache is about 2.5 miles – or a little less if you take a more direct route and do some bushwhacking.
Motorized vehicles are NOT allowed in the area. The trail system in the area is pretty complete so minimal bushwhacking is needed.
This is a three part multi; two waypoints and then the final. If you can find the WPs, the final will be easy. Both WPs are winter friendly micros and the final is a regular sized camo’d lock-n-lock slightly less winter friendly but which should still be accessible with a reasonable amount of snow.
All coordinates were recorded using a Garmin Vista HCx with 200-readings averaged. I had about 15-foot accuracy on the GPSr while hiding the cache. Your posted coordinates for WP1 are certainly welcome and please let me know if you feel either WP2 or the Final are off.
The final is loaded with a FTF geocoin for the first to find as well as their choice of some nice swag including hot hands, an emergency poncho, some small flashlights, and lots more.
Additional hints will be added if needed.
** It looks like the additional hints won't be needed - congratulations to Nashuan on the FTF and BritPitts on the close second. Congrats Mike !
** Congrats to KruegerFour for navigating this one at night. I don't think it's allowed but I won't tell. According to his log, it looks like my coordinates are off by about 5-feet (I can live with that).
