Located inside Mahlon Dickerson Reservation with Parkin at Rock and Rill.
I finally found an old mine (ok actually its an adit) to put a cache in. I checked out this spot a few weeks ago and thought it would be great. Talked to the park police and they were even fine with it. Then had a friend check it out. Everything seemed good so far. When I finally got back to place the actually cache I got down on all fours and proceeded in... Now I know you aren't supposed to run from bears, but this one was now cornered and very upset that I was shining a light in his eyes. Needless to say I was out of there in a flash. Cache is an ammo can placed about 10-15 feet away from the adit. It is well hidden and there was a bit of bounce in the area.
Before even attempting this cache remember that a bear does live nearby and be respectful of him. Also be careful around the old mines, there are lots of places in this area which are extremely dangerous. Around the cache is safe but beyond that... I warned you.
FYI, as of May 15, 2007 there was still snow in one of the mines nearby.
