This is another Barton Creek Greenbelt cache. Some bushwhacking is required and parts of this cache can be slippery when wet.
This is a multi-cache that will require you know the native flora. Two of the redirectors are trees and you will need to know what kind they are to decode the coordinates for the next redirector. Copy the puzzle below and take with you. Legs 3 and 4 will be trees you need to identify. The first one you can’t miss, the second one is a group of three. I gave you the fourth letter for Tree 2 since you don’t need it to decode the puzzle. Let me know if this was too easy, I didn't want to make it too hard because I want people to learn about the flora they encounter while GeoCaching. Once you know the type of tree use your answer to get the number for the letter and add or subtract the bottom number to fill in the coords. Because of formatting the numbers don't fall under the letter spaces correctly. It was brought to my attention that there are two ways to spell the first tree name. I modified the puzzle to work with the most common and gave you the last number for redirector 4. The final cache is real close to the last redirector. There are 5 redirectors, 2 virtual and 3 in containers. The first redirector is a film canister, the second and 5th are pill bottles. To summerize. Redirector 1 is a film canister. Redirector 2 is a pill bottle with ducktape around it. Redirector 3and 4 are trees. Rediector 5 is a pill bottle. Final cache is an ammo box.

Whew! Glad this one is behind me! I don't think I could have finished without Jeff's help. Queen Fisher and I went out with him about 9:00 at night and found Creekview and then this one. Absolutely great cache. Loved the redirectors and the puzzle. I was whining by about 11:00 though....I was tired, I was hot, I was hungry. (Note to self....don't workout before geocaching). Thank goodness Jeff can put up with a lot (Narda too). I have got to get to the greenbelt while there is still daylight sometime, I'm sure it is beautiful!

First to Find!!! I worked on this one for a couple of days, and was able to complete it even though I mis-identified the first tree! I think my hike was about twice as long due to this mistake, but I got there in the end. cool concept, combining a multi with a puzzle! took personal fan, left super bubbles. Ants1
