Description EN
The final cache is not at the posted coordinates. The posted coordinates is only the starting point. Please abide by Howard County Park rules, and only search for this cache during daylight hours. This land also serves as a managed hunting area. At the trail head, dates are posted when the park is closed due to hunting. Other times, you may still want to be cautious and wear blaze orange during hunting season.

At the posted coordinates, you will see a wooden post with a number on it. You will visit six of these on your way to the final cache to obtain the final coordinates. The other coordinates are listed as additional waypoints. You will need all of these to find the cache. The total trail, if you chose to hike the whole thing, is approximately two miles. You only have to walk through one loop of it to find the cache.

The final cache is at N 39° 12.ABC W 76° 54.XYZ. A = the number at the first stop, B = the number at the second stop + 4, C = the number at the third stop + 6, X = the number at the fourth stop + 2, Y = the number at the fifth stop, Z = the number at the sixth stop - 5.

The final cache container is an ammo can with plenty of room for swag, a log book, and a pen.
