Geocache Description:

This is another cache in the Talimena Treasures series, a line of caches topping the fantastic Talimena Scenic Drive. It is located at Queen Wilhelmina State Park and was hidden in cooperation with the Arkansas State Parks Department.

Queen Wilhelmina Lodge is a fantastic place atop Rich Mountain. The views are amazing and there is a zoo, a kiddie train, and wonderful hiking trails. This cache is an ammo box hidden on the Lover's Leap Trail, which leads to one of the best views imaginable.

It's hard to believe the above photo is of the lodge. It is so nice today, it's very hard to imagine a time when sheep slept in the ruins. For the history of the lodge, see this link.

I placed this cache as a gift back to the sport of geocaching on the one-year anniversary of my first cache find. Enjoy it and don't forget to check out the other caches in the Talimena Treasures series.
