Head to the co-ordinates and let the multi lead you around to the cache, don't be surprised if you are going in circles! There are several stages to the cache, all the stages are in the same general area of the city, but require traveling some distance by vehicle of your choosing.

The first few stages are fairly easy drive up style. The final stage is a little more involved for terrain, quite uneven and rubber boots would be suggested in most seasons. Be warned that some find this cache a torturous frustration.

Oh MAN but there's a story and a half behind this one. Shortly before going to it, I ALMOST got stuck on a gravel road heading towards a different cache (which I abandoned going to... you'll see why). Took the car down a bit of a gravel road to turn around on the highway just west of this one, and the tires instantly sank 2 inches into the ground. After almost coming to a stop with muddy, spinning tires, I kinda swavered one side of the car onto the grassy edge of the ditch, and rode like that the rest of the 1/4 km or so. Then I came straight to this cache.

Or at least straight to stage 1. Didn't even realize it was a Multi at first. Went to the first coordinates and was thinking "Hmm... where in the WORLD could a 'small' cache be hiding here? There's like... nowhere to put it". After poking around the grass a bit, I checked the GPS to see an "M" in front of the name, and slapped my head. Deciding to go on, I quickly found stage 1, and off I went! Stage 2 also put up a fight, since my GPS kept telling me to go down some dirt path that no longer connects to Waverly. Wandered through the residential area a bit and found me some stage 2. Spent a few minutes here trying to dig some mud out from the wheelwells of the car, but nothing but weak twigs here .

Off to stage 3! That is an AWESOME little area there! Nice houses on the way there, and a cool little foresty circle thing! Ehehehehehehe! Was looking for the actual cache for a minute before I realized this was another mid-stage, and headed off. And then I got to stage 4. Let's just say I now know why this cache was named this way (see picture #2). This would be an AWESOME cache to do at night in the fall... it'd be creepy as hell . Well, except that walking through there, approximately 17,000 tiny burrs stuck to my legs and jacket. Can anyone say "itchyest car ride home ever"? Anyhoo... nearby, I also found a mystery-hoodie (picture #1). Left it there, since I didn't really want to hold that sopping who-knows-where-it's-been thing, nor did I have a bag to throw it in. Hope someone comes back for it... looks pretty new, if not burr-covered. I really like the look of this area though
