Geocache Description:

This cache is located on the summit of the most visible mountain in the area.

The best way to get to this cache is to follow your GPSr until you arrive at a locked gate,(which may be unlocked at times). Park back away from the gate being careful not to block it, then walk approx. 2 1/2 miles to the summit up a gradually sloping dirt road to access the cache. It is a very easy walk but just remember to bring water during the summer as it can get quite hot here.**Please exercise caution while walking on the various rock outcrops,they may be slick in spots!!

This road/trail is a great place to walk, Mtn. bike and ride ATV's. If you are walking/biking you will need to be aware of the sounds of approaching motorcycles/ATV's and move to the side of the trail as they frequently move very fast along this trail. You are also likely to see wildlife along the way--Wild Turkey, Deer and Fox have all been seen in the area--so bring the camera.

The views from the top are spectacular and there is a great place near the cache coords to sit and rest or have a picnic before heading down. If you come up at night you will be rewarded with a special treat--the mountain has a massive star lit up on a tower--it can be seen for miles around.

Remember! This is a WILD area with all of its components: live wild creatures(that may hurt you--oh my!), mud, dirt, scat(fresh and sunbleached...the fresh will be accompanied by a rather unpleasent odor so WATCH OUT! Often, if you poke a stick at scat, fresh works best, just the right way you will be able to determine what type of creature left it there and just what that creature had eaten for its last meal!! WOW-ain't nature grand!), uneven ground, rough surfaces(that may abrade your skin), heat, cold, wet water(that becomes hard and cold in the colder times and OH MY--this often will fall unpredictably from the sky and if you are not prepared it will make you and your coverings WET!! See: Weather below), dryness(may also chap exposed skin), rocks(watch out for these things--you may trip on them and fall down!), plants (some you can eat and some will make you itch and bleed), sand (that makes you itch if you get it in your nether-regions), pollen(a by-product of the above plants that may make some of you sneeze, itch and cough), wind(that may chap exposed skin and disturb carefully placed hair), air(this could be anywhere from hot to warm or cool to cold), weather(a combination of many of the factors present here. This is entirely unpredictable unless you believe what the NWS tells you), light and dark (and all the shades in between), unpredictable sounds created from unknown sources (some of these may be pleasant...but sometimes not...and they will hurt your ears!), sometimes you will see a very bright disk overhead (but don't look directly at it as it will damage your eyes. It may also cause red burns on your exposed skin so bring your protective devices and chemicals), often there is a lack of light accompanied by a glowing disk in the sky that is pleasant to look at...and much more! Just remember: there will be plenty of random unplanned events that you will encounter on this hunt and on any venture you take into the natural world--so be ready for them as they are the things that make life worth living!
