Most of my caches are either very short strolls or micros. I have
always wanted to place some caches that would take folks to great
views along beautiful terrains. Pinnacle Park is such a hike. About
seven miles round-trip it is much easier on the return hike. The
views at the top are well worth the effort!
You will approach a really cool, 20 foot stump to the right of
the trail. The cache will be found about 10-15 yards further on to
the right. Within 5-8 yards of the cache can be found an orange
plastic tie. This tie has the missing "B" coordinate of the "Down
Under, Up Over" cache that can be found near the vista at the top.
Record the number and do NOT remove the orange tie.
Cache is Tupperware-ish 2" X 5" X 5" and full of the usual.
Please sign the log and let me know how the hike is going so far.
The ratings are based on you finding all four in the series and
then attempting the "Down Under, Up Over" cache.
