* Cache was returned to its location on 03/17/2010. * Unfortunately
the name of this cache tells it all...we had to move this stash
from its original location (Rock Eagle Repose) because there is a
sign telling would-be cachers that the trail leading to the Repose
location is off-limits except to "registered guests". But what a
great place it was...
Anyway...the new location is basically next to the eagle
monument, northward down the hill. Since it is hidden in a hole in
the ground and covered with sticks and leaves there is not much in
the way of clues to be told other than to say it is near some
felled trees. The spoiler gives a key clue which you may want to
use if you get stuck.
Please keep the smaller container tightly enclosed within the
outer container to protect it against moisture, and replace the
sticks/leaves so the stash is not too visible. There is a very good
chance that other people may be present in the area (e.g., viewing
the monument) so you must be cautious in order to remain
undetected. One alternative is to park along the road at the bottom
of the hill and walk up to the cache site.
Apologies to anyone who may have tried to find the original
Repose cache after it was moved, but we chose to do the right thing
by complying with the wishes of the property owner (the University
of Georgia). After all, we don't want to generate a bad reputation
for geocachers. But if someone out there has any political clout
with UGA, maybe you can get us clearance to use the trails for our
activities.
Happy hunting from Bubba & Allison...
