Geocache Description:


A beautiful section of Delaware State Forest; as this area is heavily used for hunting in season, be sure to wear bright orange if looking for this one during hunting season. There is room for the log book and small items.

The coordinates will take you to a spot on the trail where the cache location is in plain view, but not exactly to the cache itself. If you're not clear on the meaning of the title, it is recommended that you do a search on topology and the torus. You could google the answer to this question in topology: "Why is a doughnut like a coffee cup?" but the animation shown here does a pretty good job of answering this question too. By keeping this idea in mind, you'll have no trouble looking for your target object.

Suggested parking: N 41° 24.037, W 074° 46.805.

Please DO NOT post photos of the cache site or identify/describe the object any further in your log.
