First off, this area is open to public hunting, so please blaze
it during those times. You are hunting this cache at your own
risk.
This is a 4 stage multi-cache. It's a straight forward multi
meaning you will find the cords for the next stage at each of the
stages. This cache is located in a kind of hidden area called White
Water Canyon. Once you get to the parking area you still have no
idea what's to come. You will have about 7 tenth's of a mile and
you will then see the true beauty of this area. 100 foot high
bluffs, overlooks that you just don't find in Iowa. It's cool to
see this area in all four seasons. This area is jointly controlled
by Jones county and Dubuque county since it lands right on the
border of the two countys.
This cache I'm thinking will be a difficult one. Do to the lay out
of the area if you try to take the shortest way to each stage you
will be playing billy goat. But it you follow the nice wide mowed
trails, you will pretty much triple the distance you are hiking.
How you want to get there is completely up to you. I do recommend
taking some water as this area is really deceiving until you get
back in the canyon areas. I suggest you take a 30 foot length of
rope. It just may come in handy, but it's not required. If you have
vertigo problems this cache is not for you, you will be seeing some
steep bluff's. I wouldn't suggest small children do this one. But
other than that enjoy your visit.
Also in the lid of the final container you will find a clue for the
H.A.C. -Eagle Scout cache. This along with 10 other clues will get
you the starting location. I have set up a bookmark for finding
them on geocaching.com easily. Please write your experience in
the log book instead of just signing and dating it Happy
caching!!!
Also I may be adjusting the ratings on this cache as I get input
from finders.
