This cache is located in the James River Face Wilderness Area of
Thomas Jefferson National Forest. The land route is almost due
north of Matts Creek shelter on the Appalacian Trail. The land
route is not recommended but if you're tough, try it.
The recommended route is to canoe or kayak upstream
approximately one mile from the Cashaw Creek (aka Cushaw) boat ramp
in Snowden. The jumping off point for the climb is near the end of
the first forested island.
I made the climb in tennis shoes and shorts but this is a hand
over hand climb approximately 100' above the river. The cache is
located on a rock that juts out from the rest near a currently
standing dead tree. The original rubbermaid box has been replaced
with an ammo can in Dec. of 2009. Thanks to those who replaced it.
Don't get hurt!
