This is one of a
series of
caches located in Haw Ridge Park -- a geocaching park. The
caches are maintained by the Friends of Haw Ridge
Park in cooperation with the City of Oak Ridge Recreations
& Parks. The park terrain is wooded and hilly, and the
trails rough. You'll need water, trail map, and hiking shoes. The
trails can also be ridden by experienced mountain bikers. The park
is accessible by canoe and sea kayak as well. It can be hot and
humid in the summer. Fall colors abound in late October, and wild
flowers in mid April. The park is closed three weekends each fall
for deer hunts.
The caches are near the
various trails that run through the park, so no bushwhacking is
required or desired. Use one of the trail maps available at the
Haw Ridge
trails page to plan and guide your search. For other caches in
the park click on "Nearby caches" or visit the Haw Ridge caches page
for an overview of the cache locations and top
geocachers.
The coordinates for this
cache will lead you to the namesake of this cache. Several of these
specimen can be found on the north face of the ridge, but this is
the only specimen on the south side of the Park. From the specimen,
follow the trail west down to the small creek bed, turn upstream on
a former road bed, go about 40' to the hidden cache.
