Coordinates averaged due to trees. Do not park on the roadside
nearest the cache. Stay on the main road or go ahead to the camp
parking lot (don't worry about the tresspass sign so long as you
stick to the parking lot/lake, the camp authorities were informed
of the cache when it was planted). Cache is an ammo can hidden in
mountain debris and brambles. Terrain warning is mainly for
spring/summer when the site is a prickly buggy mess covered with
active Boy Scouts. Long pants/DEET suggeste
A small memorial to a great Scout (my late father) and a welcome to
those who would see the glories of Rainey Mountain.
The ammo can is sturdy and marked with a geocache sticker on top.
Though very near Camp Rainey Mountain, the cache is actually
planted on private property with permission. Inside are a few
memorials to my Dad (laminated photos, his obit from the AJC, a
copy of the Scout Oath and Laws) as well as a Rite-as-Rain notebook
and several treasures for Scouters.
This cache was placed on 01/29/06 the first birthday after we lost
my father. He was a lifelong scout and outdoorsman and often went
caching with me on family vacations. He asked for his ashes to be
scattered in this beautiful place, and I thank you for taking the
time to look around at the lake and cabins and see the beauty and
adventure here. May the laughter of these boys follow you home to
your own lives (and if you plan to stay long at the lake, bring an
old muffin or something for the ducks).
FTF to eagle_ford and his scouts. Congrats and thank you.
