This cache and the one on the NB side of Hwy 174 are an attempt
to help prevent cachers from getting nabbed for speeding by state
or local law enforcement while going through the community of Adams
Run.
The speed limit up and down Highway 174 from Savannah Highway
(Route 17) to the outskirts of Edisto Beach is 55 mph in most
areas. The exception being Adams Run where the posted speed limit
goes down to 35 mph. Radar traps are frequently set up along this
stretch of the highway---sometimes in multiple spots. You can
encounter bicyclists, pedestrians and children throughout this area
so the reduced speed is warranted. So be warned---Slow down to the
posted limit—It’s the Law!!! Enjoy the slow drive through the town
especially in the springtime when the azaleas and dogwood are in
bloom! Drive carefully all along Highway 174—those big live oaks
are not very forgiving if you run into them and there have been a
number of fatalities in the last several years on this road.
This cache is a plastic quart sized camoed container. There is a
FTF prize of an unactivated “Three Roses--Autumn” Geocoin set.
There are 2 coins in this set—both with same number—one has a
magnet in it. Very cool set. It’s yours to do with as you
please.
