Geocache Description:

Short Description: A cache near the top of the Bluefield College Trail.

Long Description: The Bluefield College/City Park Trail can be entered at several places, but I suggest starting at the City Park (at the first picnic area). The park starting point is at N37°14.8566, W81°14.7360. The college starting point is at N37°14.6292, W81°14.9160.

The first section goes through a pretty good elevation change (uphill). After the climb, it follows the ridge of the hill at a minimal grade.

There are two or three benches but they are after the hardest part. They're probably intended for contemplation rather than catching your breath.

The cache is located a bit off the trail near the highest point. Perhaps 100 feet. The container is a decon box with a few little items and a log book.

I updated the coordinates on April 24, 2008 after using a GPS with averaging. I didn't get to average as long as I wanted due to muggles, but they should be better than before.

First to Find: Congratulations to Branch Jumper on being the First-To-Find!
