This cache is an excellent advanced geocachers experience. Although the hike is mostly on well groomed trails it is a strenuous hike. The conclusion of which leads you to this cache and will require you to know the functions of your GPSr. A Garmin 60 CSx is recommended for the adventure. After you complete three or four hand crafted letter box caches provided by ThirstyMick you then have to figure out how to use one of the more useful but seldom used functions of your GPSr. Having completed that challenge, you are rewarded with a true letterboxing experience. An experience that even the most seasoned geocaching veterans have not completed. Take up this challenge and you will be rewarded with a wonderful view of Hewitt State Forest.
