The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle below to find it. You are looking for an orange match container on the way to Green Mountain. BYOP
My brother is a Marine so this is a salute to him and all his fellow Marines. As they say, "When you care to send the very best...."

Here's the puzzle:

Lance Corporal, Master Sergeant, Corporal, Private, First Sergeant, Corporal, Lance Corporal

General, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Major General, 0, Major, Captain

While it looks like road 372 offers easier access to the area, it goes through private property. Please DO NOT go that way. There may be a trail from road 372 that goes around the private property. I have not tried it so I don't know if it is there or what condition it may be in. If anyone tries that trail please let me know how it works. The parking coordinates I list are what I used to legally access the area.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Solved the puzzle a long time ago, but was waiting for a good day to do the Green and Blue circuit. Great weather today, and had a fun hike - thanks for the puzzle and cache!

Quite a hike today with WingsAndTales. Only managed to acquire a few scrapes and bruises along the way. The caches up in the area are pretty lonely. Tftc!

It's in as good a condition as the day it was placed, I betcha'... I made the long snow hike up here from suggested parking on a beauty of a day. Got some blue sky blizzarding when the occasional gust would strip a bunch of the Thanksgiving storm 'frosting' from the surrounding forest and distribute it all over the valley.
Onward up to Green Mountain, as long as I'd come this far
