Finding George isn't quite like Where's George. In fact, to find this little out of the way location, you may have to do some walking. Even the old geoJeep balked at driving all the way in. Once we got out to walk, we were greeted by the neighborly 4 legged friends who stayed with us during most of our visit. The cache is a decon container, hidden in typical fashion. But the allure of this location is the size of it all. Seems to go on forever, although every inch has been neglected for quite some time. So expect thorns, expect wildlife, expect some PI here and there, expect that rabbit that scared the living daylights out of me. Expect to want to stay and explore this remarkable, forgotten location. There is a nice link HERE that has directions and some pictures, as well as a partial listing of the interred. Closest I can get you to the location is the wooden marker for Unknown#12. Kind of sad, isn't it? You'll find the cache well above ground level and just try to replace it so that it can't be too easily seen. From the looks of things, we suspect this may be a *hangout* of sorts for some of the local youth...or other kinds of *players*.
