This cache is one of a series of caches hidden along or near the
"fire road" on top of Cacapon Mountain in the beautiful Cacapon
Resort State Park. This scenic state park is located just off of
Route 522 in WV, not very far north of Winchester, VA.
When you enter the park, just follow the signs to the Mountain
Overlook. The road to the overlook starts out paved and turns to
gravel for about 4 miles to get you to the top. For trucks and
Jeeps, this will be a breeze, but any car that doesn’t have a very
low clearance shouldn’t have any trouble as the road is maintained
pretty well. While the road to the top is closed from October to
March, as far as we can tell the trails remain open year round. The
5 mile Ziler Loop Trail will get you to the top if you’re up for a
hiking challenge, although for this particular cache, that would be
quite a hike. The normal park hours are 6 AM till dark.
Visit www.cacaponresort.com for detailed park
information.
This cache is located close to the overlook itself. Still, please
pay attention to your surroundings. These rocks are home to some
creatures you do NOT want to blunder into. Walking sticks are
useful items for poking into places you wouldn't want to put your
hands into. Please be careful...
The cache itself is a small nut can, initially containing a couple
of geocaching buttons, dice, and other small trade items, as well
as a log sheet and pen. It might hold a small TB such as a key
chain, but generally if you're looking to drop TBs we would
recommend seeking out "The Stroll".
Enjoy.
