Whew. To say that today was tiring would be a hideous understatement. Long story short, I ended up biking (according to the GPS) 29.6km today... on legs whos muscles have long since gone dormant over winter. Yep, I'm gonna be hurting today.

Which brings me to this cache. This was at about kilometer 12 of my trek. I was kinda debating whether or not to go after the cache, since it was somewhat out of the way... but I figured "Eh, why not... I can use the exercise." Little did I know that this would be more of a forest cache than anything else .

Don't get me wrong though... I LOVE forest caches, and loved this one for that. However, taking a bike through the specific path that I chose may not have been the wisest of decisions. But... as I wasn't about to leave my bike at the trailhead, I just hoisted it onto my shoulder and trudged over or through whatever terrain (or underbrush) wasn't bikeable. Which was lots .

The first stage took me a minute or two to find. The description says a 'white film canister'... which is a touch in accurate. It appears to have been replaced with a black one. No problems though, I found it all the same . Although, on a side-note... looks like a squirrel has been trying mostly unsuccessfully to chew on stage 1. You may want to consider replacing this with a metal waterproof match holder sometime in the future. Just a thought, though.

And I've REALLY got to figure out how to use the 'project a waypoint' option on the GPS. I DID find another option, however. I just (on the map screen) moved the arrow until it showed X distance at Y bearing, and marked that as a waypoint. Unless that IS the only way to project a waypoint... but whatever . Found stage 2 relatively easily, although there was some water in the cache. After dumping it out (the water, that is), I signed the log and put 'er back. LOVED this cache. I love the caches that take you through foresty type hiking spots .
