Geocache Description:


Welcome to Lime Kiln Park in the city of Grafton. Park hours are 6:00am to 10:00pm daily.

This is a tricky hide that is not for everyone. Leave the young kids and grandma at home (grandma, please take no offense)! Also, know your own limitations! Seriously, to get to this hide you will have to ascend / descend some difficult terrain.  There is nothing wrong will just walking away sometimes!

If you’re up for it, then bring your “A” game and make your way to the south quarry bottom. On the north side of the quarry, follow the old road / trail. Be patient and follow the trail to the bench where there is an opening to the quarry face, unless you like to bushwhack. This animal trail will take you to the rock face and a “natural staircase” Follow the “stairs” up about half way to a little plateau. You are looking for a spice jar that is twice the length of a standard micro. Please take notice of how it is wedged in before removing and put back exactly as found! Good Luck, Watch Your Footing and Be Careful! Jack

P.S. Be aware that there is an archery range in the area. While the cache is not behind the targets it would be a good idea to come back another time if the range is in use. Also, periodically the police may still use the area for target practice. They post a flag at the top of the quarry if it is in use.

Congratulations to Analee for FTF!
