Geocache Description:

A 50 Cal ammo box cache located a short distance from the Appalachain Trail in the Gooch Gap area.

The cache is located on the northern slope of Gooch Mountain, a short distance above the AT. The closest road access to the cache, about 0.3 miles (ATCF), is at the AT crossing of Cooper Gap Road (FS 42-2). On the trail to the cache, you will pass the original location of the Gooch Gap Shelter near the spring source of Mt Airy Creek. The old shelter has been replaced by a new one west of the cache location. If the new shelter is also visited after finding the cache, the resulting round trip hike will be about 3 1/2 miles long.

A number of other caches are located nearby and are listed in the description of GC10JFB.

Note: As required by the USFS for caches hidden in the Chattahoochee National Forest the cache is prominantly labeled as a geocache and the label includes the GC14EE3 waypoint number and the owner's e-mail address. Enjoy!
