CACHE INFO:
This multi-stage cache will lead you to within a stone's throw of many projects that the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) contributed to the park. Sheltered within the natural features, tress and rocks you will find their hand in the many trail, road, stone, log and steel works, tree plantations and more that are here today due to the efforts of those CCC's.
For the first stage, if you are in the woods, you have gone to far.
