This series was meant to be a geocaching-while-hiking experience. This is a very peaceful wooded area. Trails can be found for some of the route, but you'll want to do some light bushwhacking in places where the trails don't seem to go. You are encouraged to use the posted parking and trailhead coordinates, but in any case, do not park on the shoulder of Prince William Parkway. That's dangerous. It places both you and other drivers at risk due to the speed of prevailing traffic. Resourceful geocachers may find a cul-de-sac out that way with no driveways connected to it and no parking restrictions posted, at least for the time being.
This cache is no easier or more difficult to find than any of the other soda preform bottles in this series. Soooo, in lieu of a hint, I suggest you obtain the following credential before attempting this one: Bushwhackery Permit, 3rd Class, with GeoSense Radar Endorsement.
Bushwhackery Permit Level Requirements:
1st Class - Machete
2nd Class - Hiking poles (pruning shears optional)
3rd Class - Long pants and sleeves. High tolerance for copious quantities of spider webs on face
Congrats to NetworkCacher for the First to Find!
One last and VERY IMPORTANT thing. There is a small chance you may encounter horseback riders in the woods. If this happens, you will need to adhere to the guidelines I've listed below. PLEASE READ carefully.
If you ENCOUNTER a HORSEBACK RIDER in the woods:
1. Give horseback riders the right of way on trails
2. Stand to the side of the trail until horses are well past you
3. Speak to horseback riders as they approach. This helps the horse understand that you are not a threat
4. Never run at or touch a horse without the riders permission
5. Never follow directly behind a horse
THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION
