Stone Mountain Park, GA
As the SECOND oldest cache in the State of Georgia and one that has
been visited by many, many Cachers from all over the Country
(possibly the most visited traditional cache in Georgia).
Originally placed by Chris Reynolds and simply called "Stone
Mountain" cache. Unfortunately in late Summer of 2003 the cache
fell victim to some geomuggle and was potentially a permanent
archive candidate. I left the picture of the original cache box and
location on the website so don't base your search on trying to
match that tree and that box. Just a little too sentimental to
delete the picture.
I contacted the owner and obtained ownership of the cache. The
cache has been completely re-worked as a multi-legged cache with a
standard ammo box at the end (actually it’s a fairly large
ammo box). I hope you enjoy finding each stage as much as I had
trying to decide where to take you through out the Park. NO
cross-country bushwacking is required for any stage. Look for well
established trails where possible.
All past finders ARE welcome to re-hunt and re-log their finds.
Heck I ought to even re-hunt and re-log the thing (just
kidding!).
Unless you have an annual pass, admission to Stone Mountain Park
will be $7.00 (as of Fall of 2003). Bring the family and spend the
day. Walk the Mountain trail (take water with you), ride the train
and the paddle-wheeled boats, visit the museums, the petting zoo,
the antebellum homes. Most of all see what we here in the South
call a "Lazer Show". For details about all of the activities and
pricing in the Park please visit their website.
The intent of this cache is to entertain and to show people some of
the little known areas of Stone Mountain Park. This hunt will
require some walking and some driving. Successfully figuring out
where (and when) to park will make the hunt either easy or hard
(did the thought of a Park map enter your thoughts??? . . . they
are free). Number Three is going to be hard because the Mountain
actually reflects satellite signals to give really false readings.
Stop when you are about 100 feet from the cache and let your GPSR
give you the general area. I hope you enjoy this little "Tour" of
the Park. Make sure you visit the other caches in the park to
complete the whole park experience.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS PARK IS VISITED BY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE EVERY YEAR. BE MINDFUL THAT OTHERS MAY BE WATCHING YOU.
Lets keep them out of our little game and keep the clues
recognizable only to those actually seeking them.
Good Luck, LostNfound.
