Located just off the Parking Lot at Rickwood Caverns State Park,
this small geocache should be a pretty easy find and bring a smile
to your face. The park is open 8:00 am to dusk and charges $1 for
entrance.
Experience the thrill of Rickwood's miracle mile of underground
caverns! The 260 million-year-old limestone formations, blind cave
fish and underground pool are just a few of the natural wonders
exhibited in the colorful cavern. The park features an Olympic-size
swimming pool, snack bar, picnic area, large and small picnic
shelter, hiking trails, playground, campground and gift shop.
Rickwood Caverns is a recognized member of the National Caves
Association, and offers more than a mile of living geology. The
caverns themselves were water-formed during the Mississippian
period over 260 million years ago. Rickwood Caverns still contains
active "living formations," as mineral-laden water droplets build
colorful structures and flowstones. Rickwood Cave reveals that it
was carved from an ocean bed - shell fragments and fossils of
marine life are clearly visible along the cavern ceiling and walls.
Many curiosities are featured on guided tours of the "miracle mile"
at Rickwood Caverns State Park.
You are looking for a medicine bottle that could hold some
geocoins.

fun one. My 69 year old Dad found it too as his first find (with us helping a little after we found it).

This was my first Geocache! Me, my husband, and our two boys found this one today. Was very fun and we plan on doing this a lot more.

Funny how much reading the hiny helps when you have been stumbling around for a half hour! Thanks for the fun.
