Ammo can along Raven Rock Trail in Cooper's Rock State Park.

A nice hike along a well marked trail. The distance from the parking area to the cache is 1 mile as the Raven flies. Proably a mile and a third for us ground dwellers. Raven Rock is one of the jewels of Cooper's Rock State Park. The view alone is worth the hike, now there is hidden treasure as well. Be sure to walk on out to the end of the trail.

To help with the State Park plans, the main cache has been relocated. The published coordinates will lead you to a film can with the final coordinates. You will get the main cache on the way back.

The cache is close to the trail so no bushwacking or rock climbing is required. When the area is busy, you'll need some stealth. The trail is rocky so good boots would help.

Be advised that the area is closed at dark. Also the main road is closed and gated from around the beginning of December until April 1. When the gate is closed add 1.75 miles to the hike to the cache. Be watchful for snakes in this area.

Recently folks have been finding a Tupperware container, with rubber stamps, for letterbox players while searching for the cache. That is not the cache. The cache is an ammo can. (Don't accept any substitutes for good trinket swapping :-) )

September 27 by chillwm (228 found) The veiw at the end of the trail was AWESOME!!! Well worth the hike alone. Spent the day in Coopers Rock Forest geocaching in the rain. Stealth was not need today due to the pouring rain. This was # 8 of 12 on the day. Grabbed the only trackable in the cache and left the best GC I have seen, chemlights, and foreign money. Again, great great site! TFTC! [view this log]
