Geocache Description:

Who was the artist? When was this created? What inspired this carving?

A short walk off the road will lead you to an outcropping of rocks. Find the really big one with the image and words carved into the horizontal face of that large rock. It is large and will command your. attention! Then MESSAGE me with your description of the carving and the 2 words above the image.

Late in the season it's a good idea to bring a dry old fashioned scrub brush with you for cache maintenance but the correct carving has never been totally obliterated by moss. It should be possible to see enough of it to inticate where to scrub.

No email to CO with correct answer = no find.

The letters are about 1.5" high and the image is fairly large. Parking is accessed from Aquilla Rd.

Geauga County's infamous snowfalls may make this one hard to reach but it will be visible..

Update 7/24/05: I was just informed that local lore credits H.R. Wagner as the artist. He camped here in the early 1900's when this was a popular vacation community.

Placed with permission. ODNR hunting season information (end of Sept. through Mar.) No closed season on coyote or groundhog hunting season.

Closed only during deer gun season.

Any "spoiler" logs or photos are subject to deletion. Note 7/2/23: This one is in an Ohio Wildlfe Preserve and over the years more stuff has grown up on the way to the cache. But since this a very old cache I don't want to change the terrain rating and mess up the stats for previous finders.
