Geocache Description:


Went geobiking and after 3 DNFs, decided to fix this by dropping a cache to lighten my spirits. Besides, the bike trail need more geocaches, right?  Although there is a road nearby, there is no place to park and no place to pull off the road that is close to the cache.  The only way to safely access this cache is by biking or walking the bike trail.  

When I stopped to drop this cache near a bent over tree, I noticed all the spiky leaves which I am guessing is some type of nettle (they didn't cause any blemishes, just made my legs temporarily itch) between me and my hiding spot and thought how hard this would be to get to the spot with shorts on and legs bare like I was presently in when placing the cache.  Well I went ahead and placed the cache, and even after being careful to step lightly, was still overwhelmed by the urge to scratch the instense itch on my legs, but resist I did.  After placing the cache in its hiding spot, I made my way back out through the nettles, and the itch was even more intense the second time through.  After hopping on the bike and leaving the scene, even the wind created by riding made the itch super instense.  Be aware if you are in shorts and it is summer, you might get an itch you will want to scratch from the spiky leaves between you and the cache.  Good luck!
