Geocache Description:

Bring your hiking boots; a moderately steep climb on the way up, but a nice view when you get there.

There could have been several other titles for this cache - "Take a Flying Leap", "Bobolink", or "A Grown Child's Delight" - I'll stick with "Athena cache" for sentimental reasons of my own, however. This cache is probably best when there isn't snow on the ground, and probably wouldn't be a bad place to bring a picnic lunch to. It doesn't get much use, surprisingly.

If you're struggling through underbrush to get there, or facing an impossibly steep climb, there's an easier way to get where you're going.

By the way - the path of the Appalachian trail on the Topozone map is wrong; it no longer comes anywhere near this cache, and is not an easy way to approach it.

Also, there's a special cache-unique item; if you've taken something simliar from one of my other caches in the past, please consider leaving it for the next person to find.
