Man, those biking trails leading up to here are fun. Lotsa hills, sharp curves, and a smooth path the whole way. Much fun. I wonder how many people have no clue that this biking hilly path thing exists, given you can't see it from the road in the least.

Several other bikers had arrived at the biking "circuit" as I was going past, but they weren't even coming close to following me, so the path was clear. Veering off-trail when I got close to the coordinates led me to what I could only assume was the cache.

It turns out I was correct ToungeOut. Cool armour on this cache... don't forsee it being attacked by bears or the like anytime soon. Although, it looks like the "armour" has taken a few hits from... something, anyway. Likely before it became the cache's armour ToungeOut.

Took: Nothing

Hints (Back)
Follow the self guiding trail for 1/2 km. Go past the "Rodents" sign and veer off the trail at the fork near a boulder. The cache is located in the second clearing 40 meters S.E. of the big oak tree. Look for the "treasure chest" rusty grate.
