Parking is available at the Sussex Branch Trail head off Waterloo Rd. Level terrain in the start with a stream crossing just above the falls and a rocky bushwhack at the gz area.
The Cascade iron mine area was in production over a 150 years ago and is evident by the many tailings and extracted rock piles as well as the many exploratory diggings and several flooded deep shafts that lead to workings underground. The entire workings site is tucked away and forgotten in a rocky hemlock grove ravine area. Use the (teal dimond) Highlands trail just above the falls/cascade area to cross over, then a short bushwhack to the cache site.
This ammo box box cache is tucked in a natural dark area a little above the mine site. Look for a obvious location. A flashlight is not necessarily needed but a good choice to retreive and explore for the cache. Depending upon your approach a short steep climb is needed and not recommended for kids. Cool historic location. Treequest. Ps... Be sure to check out the falls as well as a small diggings that you can climb down into on the ridge just up from the falls.
