Mtn State Reviewer: Hello.

As per your disable log of 7/27/2011 [quote]Well boys and girls, I have some sad news. The park service has been wanting me to relocate this cache. I feel if I move it anywhere, the experience will not be the same. After much thought on the subject, I think the best thing to do is just archive the cache since they wont understand the connection many had with this cache. Im disabling for now and will archive in a few weeks. I want to leave the cache page open for comments if there is any.[/quote] more than a few weeks have passed. Therefore, I'm regretfully archiving this listing.

If conditions have changed, this cache can easily be unarchived if a new permit is obtained and it meets the current guidelines.

Regards.

Geocache Description:

Located at Pinnacle Rock State Park in Mercer county, West Virginia

PARK AT THESE COORDINATES: n 37° 19.329 / w081° 17.414 It will make it easier than walking up the road from the normal parking area.

I placed this cache in a part of the park that doesnt get much traffic. There is no beaten trail to follow so pick a course suited to you. When you reach the rocks follow the big crack between them. This is the way I went to get there. The outcropping is high so be careful and watch where you step. As far as I know there is only one good way to reach the cache, as it is on top of the rocks. Look hard for it and dont step off the side. Hazards include the obvious falling threat, briers, and snakes.

The original contents include the following:
a Jeep matchbox car
2 mc donalds battle bots
bug repellant
a pencil sharpener from the Knoxville worlds fair
light stick
geocaching keychain compass
Knife
All american travel bug
and a dollar register on www.wheresgeorge.com

I have posted some pictures that may be useful to those who may have problems. Warning they are spoilers.
