Fear not - or should you?
Most people have both rational and irrational fears - fear of death, close spaces, spiders, snakes, mice. The list goes on and on. Geocaching sometimes forces one to confront those fears. This little series is no exception.
Now I'm not saying that you'll have to climb down into a pit of vipers or scale the face of a cliff ... but you might.
Nor am I saying that poisonous arachnids, insects or other nasty little vermin will be lurking nearby ... but they could be.
What is hiding in that hole?
What or whom do YOU fear?

Furthermore, natural events and/or the presence of natural inhabitants cannot be predicted with any regularity. Cache hunters are responsible for discerning conditions and acting appropriately.

Located in Buffalo Mountain Park. Please visit the park webpage for more information. Here is a direct link to the trail map.
This cache will have you wandering the woods looking for the elusive "X". This is a two part multi. The first stage is a preform and contains a hint that will lead you to the ammo can final.
To reach the initial coordinates, follow the stream uphill "off trail" at the point where the Hartsell Hollow trail takes a right turn up to the Cave Critter cache. Being whacked by bushes is a certainty and wet feet are a possibility after a rain.
Please place back as good or better than you found it so that others can have the same fear factor "experience".
