Geocaching at Sluicebox State Park

  There is a state park located about a 45 minute drive East of Great Falls called Sluicboxes State Park that has a multi-stage geocache hidden within its boundaries.
  Danice and I spent several hours hiking the trails in the park one Saturday and used the multi-cache as an excuse to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
  In a multi-cache, the first hide is posted at the website to get the search started.

 The first cache has the coordinates for the second cache posted, and at the second cache the coordinates are posted for the third cache, and so on.
  The final cache of a multi-cache is usually some kind of a point of interest, such as a historical site or in the case of a state park it might be a scenic spot.
  In this particular case, the final cache was located near an old kiln that had been used many years ago.
   It was a nice day for  a hike because of the weather, and we also saw a little wildlife along the way.
