Geocache Description:


A basic hide-and-seek cache. No puzzles. No riddles. But, on the other hand, no other information will be provided here except the coordinates and the (somewhat obligatory) 1-to-5 star ratings.


The Long-Awaited Sequel to Meyers Mountain!

This is a “no hints” cache hunt, and it ain't no walk in the park. There aren't any clues to start with, but you may find a hint or two along the way. Cary Mountain, much like it's nearby counterpart, Meyers Mountain, offers surroundings that are quite impressive, with striking views of distant scenes. There is abundant wildlife in the area, as well ... especially during early morning or early evening hours.

The resources I used to determine my approaches are somewhat generally available to anyone, but you must look widely and choose wisely since most are not very reliable, and not all routes are accessible. Also, I suggest that you take the ratings with a grain of salt since they are purely subjective. This area is much less visited than the Meyers Mountain side. Nevertheless, I was able to complete the entire trek on a mix of fireroads, ATV tracks, abandoned and/or overgrown woods roads, foot-trails and paths, and with a minimal amount of bushwhacking in those areas where signs of trails fade or disappear. Please resist the temptation to give away sensitive information or clues when posting your logs to this cache page, thank you.

There are some very nice custom-made items to trade for in this cache. There are no McToys! Note also that I have included a special prize for the “First Finder” who may keep it in addition to any other item traded for. As is customary, take something from the cache, leave an appropriate item in its place, and record your visit in the logbook along with any comments, suggestions or (heaven forbid!) complaints. Place the caches and all the components back in their hiding places exactly as you found them. Kindly pack out any trash, and most of all ... please be considerate.

NOTE: Container is now a .30 caliber ammo box. (July 2004)

Winter Cachers: Locating this cache with heavy snow cover could be very difficult. If found, please try to erase, camouflage or otherwise confuse your tracks in the snow in order to maintain some level of difficulty for future Geocachers.

Good luck and good hunting, fellow Geocachers ...
