Hello and Welcome to the
EAST - WEST section of
Stark Pay It Forward Geotrail

CACHES:

• All within 20 Feet of trail
• All are camouflaged soda bottle preforms.
• All have their cache name indicating which side of the trail the cache is on, N for North, S for South, W for West and E for East.
• All have hints that give very specific instructions as to where the cache is placed since this trail is mostly under canopy and people can experience signal bounce.
• If you have hunted and are convinced the cache is not there, you have my permission to place a temporary container there and claim the find. I will go out on the trail and then replace the container with the standard container.
• These are not intended to be hard caches; but camo in the woods can sometimes be tougher than intended.
• Each preform tube contains a log sheet with a rollup bar to assist putting the log sheet back into the container. Please use this to allow the log to remain dry and in good condition. If you like the rollup bar, please feel free to copy it.
• Many of these caches will not be winter-friendly, although they should survive just fine, I would suggest doing this trail when there is no snow.

ABOUT THE TRAIL

• The trail is mostly crushed, compressed gravel and is fairly smooth and flat, with a few bumps and hills. There are paved sections on the trail also.
• There is poison ivy along this trail and there are some caches close to the ivy. Please use caution if you are sensitive to the ivy.
• There are some intersections on this trail and some are busy. Also, some sections of the trail border on private property. Please use common sense when hunting for these caches.
• At times, the trail can be busy, so please use some discretion when finding these caches.
• Some of the terrain has a drop off right next to the trail, so be careful. I tried to mark all the terrains as accurate as possible.

Parking:

• You can park at the Lincoln Park in Massillon to begin the trail. Alternately, you can park in Bottoms Park, but I recommend Lincoln because it is a more public spot.
• You can park at West Lebanon Bike trail parking lot to end the trail.
• Please cache responsibly, during daylight hours and park only in designated areas. Let's show that geocachers follow the rules when hunting for the smiley!
