Geocache Description:


You can access this cache from the Overlook Mountain Trailhead. Hike is around 5 miles round trip on a well maintained trail/access road with some moderate inclines. Maximum elevation will be around 3100'.

Cache is a Waterproof Match Container painted black and green.

Eastern Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) are commonly seen in this area during the warmer months. I placed this cache hoping to spot some but only saw a Black Rat snake, and an Eastern Garter snake. Obviously, be careful during this one. If you are lucky enough to see one, do not touch or disturb the Timber Rattlesnakes, they are a threatened species. Oh, and did I mention they are a venomous species...just in case you didn't know.

Don't forget to stop and enjoy the amazing view near the cache. You will see rock carvings of names and dates back to the mid 1800's.

Good Luck and Cache Safe!

Congrats to xxx-xxx for FTF on 04 August 2007!
