This cache is a MULTI, but don't think it'll take all day.It
is only 2 steps. However do be aware that this is a very difficult
hike, taking the place of "Are you affraid of the dark" which was
destroyed, and archived, a short while back.

As I said,
two stages are all you'll need for this cache. Find a mini, then
the real cache. Sounds simple doesn't it... well let me explain why
it isn't by telling you step by step how to complete this
cache...
Step 1) Park at the
Morningstar Mill and start hiking into the Mountain Mills Park (Via
the Bruce). Follow this until you come upon a rope on the slope to
your left. (To be sure it is the right place to get down look at
the trees on the opposite side of the trail, they have orange paint
on them.)
Step 2) Climb down the
hill/cliff. And I don't mean climb as in scamper down a hill, I
mean CLIMB like the way you would a tree.
Step 3) Follow the trail east,
or towards the UpperFalls. This will bring you past a man-made
falls which creates a river that you will need to hop across.
Step 4) Once across the river
there is a tall hill. Climb it to the summit where you will find a
Tunnel. (This cache is not IN the tunnel like "Are you affraid of
the dark" was, so don't go in there looking for it.)
This step brings you to the top of the hill with a spectacular
view of the Upper Falls. Take a rest on a flat rock that you should
find at the coordinates above.(Check the picture below if you are
still lost.) While your taking a rest on this rock take a peak
under it, pull out some other rocks and remove the Green
container.
BEWARE OF MUGGLES!!!
In the container is a bunch of cards. Take a card and read the
coordinates. (If U can don't TAKE the card with you, though I have
made a few of them for those who can't transfer the coordinates, or
those who are just to lazy to type it into there GPS's on the
spot)This container is a mini, though it can still fit some small
items (Keychains, geocoins, buttons...) So feel free to trade
something small here. Keep the big stuff for the final.And we
continue
Step 5) With the new
coordinates noted find your way back up to the Bruce.
Step 6) Follow the coordinates
to the Final. That's all you get for the Final.
If you NEED more consult the Hints or the Spoiler pictures ...
Have fun, and BE CAREFUL!
(Also bring a flash light and boots with you if you are interested
in exploring the tunnel.)
