Pathfinder Regional Park is open until 10pm. Coordinates are for parking. Path is narrow, but we've tried to mark it well with Fire Tacks (Fire Flies!)Bring a very good flashlight to catch the reflectors. They are from shoulder height to just above 6-7 feet. Cache is just over .1 miles from parking coordinates.

Bring the bug spray!!!!!!!
Follow the fire flies through the trees...watch out for fallen tree branches and stay on the path until you reach a small clearing marked by 3 fire flies sitting close together. Nearby you'll see an extra bright fly guarding the cache!

Special gift for FTF!

Cache has Breast Cancer Awareness bracelet, parachute dude, a little bling...

Wow! I'm not sure why this has gone so long without a find. It's a fun little night cache.

I was having a bad night and was looking at this coin I've had for a very long time. It wants to go on night caches. I figured it was about time I get off my butt and end the day on a better note with a night cache and move this coin on its way.

After an hour drive and a short walk, I got to the start of the trail. I looked for the next fly and didn't see anything. So, I went on down the trail I could see. I passed a few trees and thought, nope, couldn't be the right one... But the hint had me thinking that I should just follow the trail UNTIL I saw a fly... Well, at 0.19mi there's a river at the end of that trail and that's when I thought, "time to back-track a bit." HAHA!

I went back to start, flashed around a bit and saw what I thought was oddly far away, but headed that direction. That turned out to be my own vehicle's reflector...

Back at the start a third time, I looked at the ground and saw another trail. A few steps into that one and I saw the next firefly. Onward!!
I got to the prescribed end but didn't see the noted beacon. I went forward a bit thinking it might "up and to the left."

Nope... headed back to the known spot, looked where I should have when I got there and found the container! YES!!!

Stamped, dated, and replaced... with the coin added!
