Take the road off High Street at 41 55.998/078 38.634. Most of you
will park here, off the road so not to get squished by dump trucks.
If you have a fourwheeler or snowmobile, you can probably travel
the trail you see to the south. It zigzags up the ridge to the top.
Follow the ridge road to the the intersection with the stump at 41
55.129/078 37.169, take the right turn. Park at 41 55.091/078
37.155.
Follow the trail you see at the pipe to the overlook at 41
55.077/078 37.292. The coords take you to an overlook area so you
can get your bearings. As you look off the rocks, generally south -
southwest, there is a large boulder to your left (east), you will
have to make your way around that and seek the trail leading
down.
You will pass many caves along the way. Continue down and then
along the face of the rock cliffs, generally west. Stay close to
the rock faces.
If you find the vulture feather I tied in the tree, you are on
the right trail. I took over a thousand readings on top of the rock
that houses the cave and the cache. These were rock solid and
should get you to the exact rock/cave that has the cache. You have
to crawl through a cave and out the other side. You will be on the
edge of a cliff that leads to a coyote den. It is tucked away on
the ledge.
A 50 cal ammo can.
Original contents: 3 books, ceramic unicorn, ceramic pic frame,
gold/cz necklace, scraper tool, golden book mark, credentials
holder, tie rack, drink holder, CD's, Log book and 3 ready to go
micro caches. I did not leave anything for children and wish
cachers to keep it that way.
Two adults are not enough to keep track of one child 10 yrs or
under up here. You will want: water (lots), trail food, good boots,
staff, camera, bino's, bug spray (lots), side arm perhaps. Have
fun, but if celebrating, please bring a designated hiker with you.
If you are a spelunker or mountain climber, your day has come.
There are dozens of caves and cliffs. I find something new each
time and I have been coming here since 1970's.
Things you might see: bear, rattlesnakes, mountain lions,
bobcats, coyotes, turkey, deer. Don't forget your orange in hunting
seasons.
