Geocache Description:

This cache is placed off of a new trail that connects Blacksburg's Heritage Park to the Pandapas Pond/Poverty Creek area.

8/20/2005 Replacement cache has been placed. It is better hidden than the other one and less likely to be discovered by accident.

A good place to park for this cache is in the Heritage Park parking lot on Meadowbrook Lane. You can also start higher up by taking a Forest Service Road and hike down to the cache (but then you'll miss the handiwork of many area volunteers with the new trail)

If you are interested in exploring the Poverty Creek/Pandapas Pond area, I suggest taking a look at the following trail map:

Original cache contents include:
  • Mexican coins
  • A stress ball
  • A magnet toy from a tradeshow
  • An Eor toy
  • A compass
