The Watchtower

Cache is located in a county park, close to a trail.
This cache contents are primarily for the kids but locating the cache  should be fun for the adults. The cache is a partially clear container and is loaded with toys. The park has things to climb and play on. A bathroom is available. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenery.

It may be possible to do this without a GPSR: From the tower I proceeded on a bearing of about 239 deg to find a trail behind a picnic table near a stone firepit.  I walked down this trail about the same distance I walked from the tower to the trail until the bearing to the cache was between about 330 to 335 deg, I could see a nice big white rock to the right at this point. I made a right turn off the trail and proceeded to the cache in a clearing and very near a rocky out cropping area.
The cache should be fairly well protected from the weather.

Generally, if I can find a cache within 90 feet or so of the posted coords, I think the hider has done well. Hopefully, I can get you closer than that.

The cache site is a nice place to sit, listen to the breeze in the trees, look at the countryside below and ponder the general state of affairs. That?s what I did when I was here.
Be sure to take a trip to the top of the tower. It?s not required but it sure is fun.
Total distance to/from is maybe about 1000feet and this should be an easy find.
