Upper Cascades at the Cascades Preserve Traditional Cache

In June 2012, the Oak Ridge Town Council voted to annex the northern portion of the Cascades Preserve, a 130 acre nature preserve, as part of an agreement between the town and Guilford County.  The southern part of the preserve was already within the town limits.  This agreement was made to add to the recreational “opportunities” in Oak Ridge.  I read that as a Geocaching opportunity.

The caches you are seeking vary in difficulty, terrain and size and they have been placed so you can experience this hidden jewel of Guilford County.  If there was ever an opportunity for an Earthcache, this is it.  Since I don't know anything about submitting an Earthcache, you get just a regular old cache hidden in a regular old way.  This cache is beside the Cascades Trail but not on it... but certainly on the same side of the creek.  The background photo was taken from GZ. Bring a picnic lunch and dine at the picnic tables beside the creek.
