Geocache Description:

A supersize cache at Boy Scout Camp Arrowhead (Ona, West Virginia). The trail will take you by a hand-pumped well (functional - have a drink!), the mysterious meeting place of the Thal Coo Zyo lodge, and the beginning of the 42 mile long Kanawha Trace trail.

Once on Blue Sulphur Rd., pass under the underpass, over the one-lane bridge, and then turn right. At the stop sign, turn left. Boy Scout Camp Road will be on your right, at 38d 26.192N x 082d 14.581W. This road leads all the way to the camp.

Park your car at 38d 26.157N x 082d 14.083W.
