Geocache Description:

FTF Prize is a small wooden chest containing a vial of 24 karat gold.

This Cache is located in Claytor Lake Park, the weekend that I had set out to place my wonderful cache, I arrived to find the park closed for a deer hunt. I wasn't going to let a few bullets stop me, so I proceeded to the boat dock and stuck to the coastline whilst sneaking into the park from there. Needless to say, the cache has been placed, and me without a bullet wound to show for it.

To reach the elusive cache:

Upon entering the park, you will need to take a right on Bear Rd. Take another right to park at the boat dock parking area. Once you are facing the boat dock take the footpath into the woods on your left. The trail is semi-marked by orange tape further down, essentially it will follow the waterline.

Original contents:
Wooden chest containing 24k Gold
Hand warmers
Small glowstick
Large glowstick
Leo Zodiac Geocoin
