The MIR Mortal 2 Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

jspiker: Hello All,

Thanks for visiting the cache all these years but while hiking in the forest today, I decided to archive this cache.

I think it's becoming to well know to hunters and several entries in the logbook suggests random finds. It's only a matter of time before it's vandalized and an earlier entry stated a bear had scattered the contents around the tree earlier this month.

It's good to move caches from time to time and I think this cache in that catagory.

Happy Trails to All...

Geocache Description:

Please note the co-ordinates have changed slightly! Recently relocated and re-furbished due to Coyote activity in the area. Near the junction of Middle Ridge Road and Johnson Hollow at the top of the mountain.

The MIR Mortal visits our solar system often. He teleports himself between the earth and the mother ship as it travels across the morning and evening skies over West Virginia. You can actually see the mother ship traveling across the heavens if you know where and when to watch for it. The "Mother Ship" is actually the International Space Station. I'll post viewing times on the site where they are visible in the Charleston area. The container is a heavy duty plastic container with a collage of space images attached to the inside of it. You can access Middle Ridge Road from the Logtown area via the Johnson Hollow Trail, the Black Bear Mountain Bike Trail (watch for bikes)or from the top of the mountain near the FAA radio towers. DO NOT go to the towers...Middle Ridge Road is the road on the right and will veer left towards the cache. It's about a half mile hike from there. You can pick up a map of the forest at the ranger station.
