The .14 mile walk to the cache is an easy one. You can expect a
change of roughly 200 feet in elevation from the parking area to
the cache. The container is a white one gallon bucket; original
contents include a camo hat, a new travel mug, an American flag,
glowing yo-yo, nail game, a wheresgeorge, and some other stuff.
If someone is ambitious, you can take a few cans of spray paint,
and camo the bucket before fall.
The roads are not maintained in the winter, so a 4 wheel drive,
snowmobile, dirt bike, ATV, etc, would be ideal. But, I was able to
easily drive to the cache in the spring months in my car. I gave
this cache a fairly difficult rating based on the directions up to
the lookout. Unless you are familiar with back roads travel, I
suggest good topo maps or topo software to navigate these back
roads; we don’t want anyone spending the night on the
mountain! As always, be careful in the hunting seasons.
Directions:
Take route 872 (Wharton rd) to Elk lick road at waypoint N41 31.322
W078 01.580
- ***Unless stated below, just keep following the road
straight.
Follow the Elk lick blacktop road until you get to the gas town at
the top of the hill.
You will bear onto a dirt road at waypoint N41 30.820 W077
59.273
- As you follow the road, you will bear to the right around a huge
radio tower (you can’t miss it.)
- Continue to follow the road until you get to waypoint N41 30.377
W077 59.542 turn to the right.
- You should arrive at a 4 way intersection after passing a few
camps in an open area. Turn left at this intersection N41 30.147
W078 00.162
- Keep going until you need to bear right at N41 29.790 W078
00.576
- Now for the final turn… When you are about .33 miles away
from the scenic area, you will need to bear right at the
“Y” intersection. If you go left you will end up at a
dead end very quickly
A cacher named Ima Lost will be helping me maintain this
cache.
