Geocache Description:

This cache is approximately half-way between Mt. Flagg and Mt. Shaw along the Gorilla Trail. This unique walk through an area reminiscent of a savannah forest may leave you walking like the trail's namesake! 


As NEHIKR20 and I were doing a traverse of the high peaks of the Ossipee mountain range, we found ourselves coming up on the Gorilla Trail. Now a trail name like this just gets you thinking - so we started trying to think of all of the simian themed cartoons and movie characters we could. However this area, filled as it was with birch trees, brought to mind the patriarch of the gorilla families, the Silverback. Most of the glade was filled with typical white birch, but every once in a while, the silvery bark of the yellow birch would rise majestically amongst the other birches.

For this cache, you need to get your simian on! Please replace cache as found!

BYOP!
