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
