This cache is easily found along the trail at Jordans Point Park in Lexington, Virginia
Jordan's Point Park is located on an island and peninsula formed by the Maury River, Woods Creek, and an old mill race, complete with picnic tables, walking trails, and canoe launch. It was designated as a point on Virginia's Civil War Trails program for visitors to observe where Union General Hunter crossed into Lexington after shelling it in June of 1864.
For native Lexington families, Jordan's point takes on many meanings. For me, it was my very first starting point in my geocaching experiences, heading toward VMI. I have watched fireworks on the 4th from the field, and photographed birds and other wildlife while on walks.
For some, it is a place for family gatherings, parties, and reunions in the covered picnic area. Others launch canoes and kayaks into the Maury from this site.
Jordan's Point is a place of loss and reflection for others, where lives have been lost in the turbulent waters of the dam.
All agree that the beauty and sense of community in this place is rich and alive. Find your own memories in the space at Jordan's Point and enjoy your hunt.
The ammo box cache has been moved to a new location off the trail, well behind the track. There is room for TBs and small to medium items. New items include a water mouse, shrek baby, rolling stone, arm troll, roller girl, red bug, glass slips, key box, hat, cache in trash out bag, crochet wreath, gian paperclips, penny pieces, and log with pencil.
Congratulations Team Madcache FTF!
