An urban cache with a good view of parts of downtown Staunton, VA.
There are multiple ways to get to the cache - ramp, driving, or stairs. Reception may be pretty bad when driving to the cache! At certain times you have to pay a fee but weekends and evenings are free! There is 24/7 free parking located nearby on Central Avenue.
Cache is a magnetic hide-a-key since 6/14/12 after the original disappeared. I didn't have a container quite like the one used by the original placer. Bring your own pencil!
From quite near the cache site, look up Central Avenue for a photo-worthy view of the Clocktower, a Staunton landmark. Don't miss the view of Gum Spring Branch from the area near the elevator (or from in the glass-backed elevator). There is a well-done informational sign just outside level 1 that is worth a look. It describes and depicts mills that were located here due to the steep elevation drop in this area, and has a photo of flooding nearby.
CONGRATS to Team FairCorn on a very speedy FTF!!
