Geocache Description:

Follow the crows, for they knows where the cache can be found. This is a 3 stage multi-cache with an ammo can for trading items.

Do not look for coordinates at the first two stages. You are searching for small black crows. They are 1.25" x .5" in size. They are not hidden or camouflaged and are in plain view.
Follow this key:
  • 1 crow pointing left - 175 feet west
  • 2 crows pointing left - 105 feet east-northeast
  • 1 crow pointing up - 90 feet east
  • 2 crows pointing up - 110 feet north
  • 1 crow pointing right - 80 feet south
  • 2 crows pointing right - 120 feet south-southwest
I used a compass for this - magnetic north

For example ~ at the first stage you might find 2 crows pointing to your right as you are facing them. You would then proceed 120 feet south-southwest from this spot. Once there, begin to look for another crow or pair of crows.
If you are skilled at projecting waypoints then this shouldn't be too tough, but the crows are pretty small.

Please note that the mechanical pencil is not a trade item. Thanks.
