Geocache Description:

This is about 1.25 miles from the Smokin Davy trailhead. This is a 50 caliber ammo can.

This cache is very close to the moutain bike trail, but you will find that access from that trail at the closest point is rather difficult. I would recommend that you find a way in from the paved trail. It will be much easier.

This spot is frequented by deer and was used by them as a bedding area recently, so that's why the name. Also you can follow the deer trail almost to the cache.

You can park at Sail Boat Cove, but be warned in the summer this requires payment at the gate or a Clay County Parks permit. Parking at the Smoken Davey trailhead on Hwy W is always free.

I didn't notice any Poison Ivy near the cache placement. This is the Smithville Lake area so snakes and other critters are around. This cache is accessible from the unpaved mountain bike/hiking trail or the paved trails. This placement is slightly closer to the mountain bike trail. If would like a more difficult hike overall take the mountain bike trails.

There are 8 caches on this part of the trail system, if you haven't been here before. The total round trip will be just over five miles to do 7 of them from one parking area. Paradise 1 will add 2 miles to your hike from the Smokin Davy trailhead on Hwy W.

Three caches closest to the Smoken Davey Trailhead and parking.
