This is our 1st cache hide. We started geocaching to get the
family out of the house. We like caches of all types, yet the
caches that get a “thumbs up!” from all the members of
our team are the caches that take us to new trails and out of the
way places we would not have visited before geocaching. We also
like looking at all of the trades in a cache; we don’t always
trade, but always have fun seeing what there is to trade. That is
why our 1st hide is a cache that will take you to a place with some
great trails and is chock full of a variety of trades (hence the
cache name, but we couldn’t fit the kitchen sink in the
cache).
This cache is park approved and located on land held by the
American Chestnut Land Trust within the Parkers Creek watershed.
The cache is located off the Overlook Trail at Double Oak Farm. See
the trail
map. Trails are open 365 days a year from dawn to dusk. Please
note that this property is used for hunting during different
hunting seasons and some trails could be closed to all but hunters.
There is no hunting allowed on Sundays; all trails are open for
hiking from dawn to dusk on Sundays even during hunting
seasons.
