The cache at Deer Rock was placed with the permission of Camp Coffman
Ministries. Please be advised that the woods are filled with slippery rocks,
high cliffs, pointy sticks, hungry bears, rattlesnakes and other hazards
normally found in nature. By attempting this cache, you assume total liability
and risk associated with this activity.
Start your journey by parking at N41* 18.996
W79*35.257. There is a great spring here to get a cold drink of
water from. Fill up, and enter the woods at the other side of the road.
Hike along the creek, and head to Deer Rock, at
N41* 19.469 W079*34.700. Once you
have enjoyed the rock carvings, make the short climb to the cache location.
Cache is in a large black ammo can. Read the spoiler, and look at the
spoiler pic before you kill yourself looking. If you can't reach the cache
itself, you can still get full credit for this cache by posting photos of the
area with your GPS, you, your buddies..... whatever! Please hide the cache well when you are done
Believe it or not, but this is by far the easiest path to the area. On
your way back, resist the temptation to cross the suspension bridge at N41*
19.080 W79*34.834. The bridge is unsafe, and leads to Camp Coffman itself.
We wish to avoid disturbing the campers there. My 4 year old son can make
this hike. The terrain rating is due to the lack of a trail in places,
steep slopes, and tight crevices that must be negotiated.
