Hey, tuts.
The caches in the northern part of the Crow-Hassan park are generally pretty easy, if you don't mind walking a lot between caches. It's really pretty there and now that it's cooler it's a great place to go.
Keep at it. Soon you'll learn to spot what we Minnesotans call the "beacons" (fallen trees, stumps, trees with holes in them, etc.) and make more finds. I cache with my wife, who is very good at finding hides. She doesn't have the GPS distracting her, so as soon as I say "we're within 20 feet" she jets to the nearest beacons and starts looking. She's responsible for about 70% of our finds so far.
The micro and nano caches get pretty tough - especially when the Cache Owner decides to put them somewhere other than the usual beacons.
The MnGCA is a good and helpful community. Check them out.
