Geocache Description:

* Cache is not at posted coordinates *

The posted coordinates are near the parking area for Crockery Creek, one of my favorite parks to find (and now hide) caches in.

The final puzzle creation and rating is based upon feedback from beta testers in the Groundspeak forums. Thank you to all who looked at it for me. And whaddaya know, by pure coincidence it qualifies for our Jackpot Challenge cache requiring finds of 7* combined D/T. No climbing required for this one, but it is a little bit of a hike.

Good luck!
If you've done my puzzles before, you know I don't hide anything useful in white text!


It is recommended that you bring bug spray if you seek this cache in the summer months. In late fall and early winter, limited bow hunting is allowed in the park so it is recommended that you not dress like a deer. Better yet, wear bright orange and be careful.

Park hours:
April 1 through October 31 - 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
November 1 through March 31 - 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As always, extra hints are available for anyone who wants them.
