This cache has been archived.

data trax reviewer: Greetings from Geocaching.com

It looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. I have already placed one reminder on your cache page to remind you that your cache need some attention. There is no record of a response to that reminder. No response tells us that you are not planning on replacing, or repairing this cache. If we are wrong with that assumption please let me know. While we feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever.

So that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location, your cache has been archived. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If you are in the process of replacing or repairing your cache please e-mail me in response to this archival and I will unarchive your cache.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to your continued contributions to the sport of Geocaching.

Geocache Description:

The Rainbow Falls/Velcro Pygmie Tribute Cache (or should I rename it, "Dear God, Please Don't Let Me Die Cache"?) is a 2 mile round trip from the parking area (N 35 07.227 - W 85 21.997) and has a 500ft elevation change (most of which occurs in roughly 200' of trail) each way. This cache SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED IN ICEY CONDITIONS due to the steepness of some of the slopes.

This cache is dedicated to two of my most favorite things in the world; The most beautiful suntanning spot on the planet: Rainbow Falls, and "The Greatest Rock & Roll Force Ever Assembled in the History of the World:" The Velcro Pygmies. I plan to keep this cache stocked with Pygmie paraphrenalia and suntanning supplies. The cache is an ammo box that originally contained:

3 Velcro Pygmie "Life of the Party" T-shirts
6 Autographed picks (3 from Jimmy , 3 from Blake)
1 Autographed drumstick from Chris
1 Autographed Velcro Pygmie "Life of the Party" CD/DVD (It's a hitchhiker complete with travelbug)
1 Logbook with 2 pencils and 1 pen.

Be very careful in seeking this cache. The slope is steep and has lots of loose rock. Also, the rocks at the Falls are like "ice" when wet. BE CAREFUL!!! and TAKE A FRIEND!!!
