NOT AT COORDINATES ABOVE!!

The coordinates above will get you to the correct park. The waypoint is located within this park, and ON a trail.

But the final two digits of both the latitude and longitude listed above are not the correct coordinates of the waypoint. That is, the waypoint is at N44.57.5yy, W93.26.2xx, and you must figure out what yy and xx are.

Here is the clue you need to figure out what yy and xx are:

"Mail: I art a trail, I am.".

The waypoint is located ON the trail itself, at least according to my GPS. Go to that location and look for two shiny metal tags within 6 feet of each other. One has the word "Tree" on it, the other has the word "Box" on it. Both tags list measurements in inches. Add those two numbers up. The cache is located that many FEET west of the waypoint.

ALTERNATE OFFSET. It turns out that with the leaves off the trees, there are actually two sets of metal tags that fit the description above. But both will get you to the right place (within GPS accuracy) if you follow the above instructions. However, here is an alternative offset method as a backup. Find the two tags as above and add up the measurements. If the sum of those measurements is a Fibonacci number (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...), then proceed that many FEET west of the waypoint. If the sum of those two measurements is not a Fibonacci number, then proceed that many FEET south of where you found those two tags.

The cache itself is a peanut butter jar with the usual stuff in it.

Bring a camera with you, if you can, and take a clear picture of your GPS display when you are at the *exact* waypoint on the trail. That picture could be worth a virtual cache find. But don't post that picture here. You have to upload that picture to a different geocache page to get the credit for the virtual. If you have figured out the waypoint coordinates, I am sure you will be able to figure out which virtual cache wants your GPS picture.

Found a while back. Thanks for the cool cache. Took me a while to figure out but it clicked sooner or later.
