Journey past one of Ohio States Nature Preserves that's rarely visited.

Park here: N40-45.092 W080-32.248 Follow the old rail road bed past Sheepskin Hollow to the cache.

Along the way you'll pass a rare exposed coal vein (N40-44.574 W080-32.339). It must have been exposed many years ago to make way for the rail road bed. It's not often you see an exposed coal vein in this area. Most places around here have been strip mined.

After you find the cache if you want an added treat the coords for the first waterfall in Sheepskin hollow are in the log book. Enter Sheepskin Hollow (trail head starts here: N40-44.768 W080-32.220) and follow the trail/creek bed to waterfall.

Want to see the second waterfall? Continue up the stream, but be very careful. Its not easy to get above the first waterfall. The second waterfall is a good distance up the stream. Keep walking till you find it. It's there, I promise.

Wonderful hike in a beautiful nature preserve. Left Morty the Alien Geocoin and a John Deere tractor, grabbed Bad Mojo and Tools of the Trade coins. Plenty of room for more caches here! Hint, hint! Thank you very much for placing this cache.

This was the third in a series of Rambo caches that AP, DJ, and I did today. If you look beyond the neon lightposts and pollution of the city you can still find some decent caches. If you blow through microcache alley without stopping, look beyond the rainbows, skip past the unofficial stashes, and ignore those LAME-O leasure micros, you can still find some good hunts. Thank you for hiding another one of them! This cache was my favorite cache of the day. We got to the trailhead after observing our standard ritual of performing at least two three point turns in the roadway before getting to a place to park. Some might think that we do this because we are lost but in actual fact we do it because it brings us luck. We sure were lucky to be able to do this cache today. What fun! The best part was going for the bonus coordinates that we found in the logbook. It was an exhilarating hike to a frozen falls! We would have gone for the second falls but there was just too much snow to continue up the ravine any further. But I'm getting ahead of myself... We saw some more deer and other interesting sights on the way to the coordinates. I expected for it to be difficult to find the cache because of the previous DNF and an abundance of snow in the area but AP managed to find it in less than five minutes even though there were about 1,000,006 possible hiding spots. We were very lucky because it would have taken a long time to check them all. I left a TB here and my mark in the logbook. Thanks for another great cache! Johnny.
