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.
Your GPS should lead you
to a very tall storage bin. A good place to hide a cache, you say.
Alas not. You need a ruler or tape measure to calculate your way to
the cache location. Measure the height (h) and width (w) (in
inches) of the rectangular entrance. To find the actual location of
the cache (WGS84), add the height (h) to the last two digits of N
35° 59.918 and subtract the width (w) from the last digits of
W 84° 9.602
Bring along a trash bag
-- cache in, trash out.

Found while out mountain biking with LSKPapa. This may be one of my favorite caches. A nice ride to a most interesting location. TFTC!

Boy Scout Troop 354 picked up geocoin PCQNNA originally from GC1JKNG. Our next outing will take us near the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina and we will leave the coin there if we can find an acceptable geocache.
