Hill Top Currency Traditional Cache
Cache Sleuth: This cache hasn't been being found very often - plus a recent finder has reported damage to the contents - so I have decided it's time to take it down. Thanks to all those who have found it over the 13 years it was active!

The third in my series of numismatic themed caches. This one is
dedicated to world paper money collecting, hidden on a high point
between U.S. Route 19 and the Salmon Run access road at
Summersville Lake, just south of Summersville, West Virginia.
From U.S. 19, turn onto Airport Road. If traveling north, this is a
left-hand turn; if coming south, turn right. Then make another
immediate left-hand turn onto the Salmon Run access road. Go about
one mile until you come to the main parking area. The way to the
cache is about .20 mile on foot from there. The best way to begin
is to go past the red gate that is beside the restrooms on your
left as you face the boat launching ramp. After a short distance,
you will see a bench on the left (just before you get to the water
when the lake is at summer pool) and a path that goes uphill. Take
this path and just follow your GPS unit from there. You will either
be following an old, overgrown jeep trail or bushwhacking the rest
of the way.
Even though it is closer, do not attempt to go for this cache by
coming in from the U.S. 19 side! The state police take a dim view
of anyone parking along this busy highway unless it is an
emergency. You will also encounter a 5 foot high wildlife fence
with barbed wire on the top if you attempt to go in that
way.
Cache is in a 1.2 quart Lock & Lock container. Initial contents
are: 25 assorted pieces of foreign paper money, a Duke Nukem
keyring, Christian stick-on reflector, toy truck, magnet, seashell,
and a log book with pencil & pen. If you want to trade paper
money, please take only as many pieces as you leave.
