THIS IS A NIGHT ONLY CACHE! YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOCATE
THIS CACHE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.
Before taking on this cache you need to review the below stated
issues:
1. You WILL need a good flashlight in order to complete this
cache.
2. Cache will involve a 1+ mile round trip hike.
3. Coordinates are for the parking location.
4. During rainy weather parts of the trail may be submerged and
impassable. Most of the trail will be muddy during any weather type
(except for extreme drought).
5. During cold weather parts of the trail may be ice
covered.
6. Even though this cache is located around highly developed
areas it is VERY DARK with little evidence of civilization in the
area at night.
7. This cache was set up in winter and would best attempted when
vegitation cover is low.
Now that those issues are stated here's the info:
Once in the parking location you will follow very small
reflective markers along Darlington Trail. Trail is very well
defined and marked so the initial 1/4 - 1/3 mile of the trail will
have very limited reflectors. This has been done to limit the
exposure of reflectors to non-cachers who may take them or follow
them to the cache. Unlike other night-time caches do not expect all
reflectors to be at eye-level. Do not expect that you will be able
to see the next reflector from the one you are currently at when on
the trail.
Follow trail and reflectors along creek. Reflectors are very
sensitive to the angle of which the light hits them so it is
suggested that you sweep your flashlight in order to find them.
Once you find dual pyramid-shaped reflectors on the Rocky Run
Trail (Darlington Trail will dump you into Rocky Run Trail if you
take the correct route) the route to the cache will leave the
trail. You now need to follow the reflectors up the hill.
The cache location is marked by orange reflectors in a
triangular shape with a white reflector in the center of the
triangle. Cache is within 10-feet of this marking.
Once you have found the cache you can follow the reflectors back
to the trail and the parking location.
Have fun and don't get lost or let the creatures of the night
get you!!!!!
Cache Info Update. Thanks to ODragon for this update.
Another cache Geocache by Ed S. (GC68F) is located not very far off
the trail to this cache. If you turn off the main path of the night
cache at N39 54.182 W075 27.822 you can reach Geocache on your
return trip. Thanks again for the information and coordinates
odragon!
SUMMER UPDATE
Difficulty is increased during months with heavy vegitation.
Some of the reflectors will be obscured by leaves and branches. The
trails are very well defined so if you follow the clues the lack of
reflectors may not prevent you finding the cache! Good Luck!
