Fear not - or should
you?
Most people have both rational and
irrational fears - fear of death, close spaces, spiders, snakes,
mice. The list goes on and on. Geocaching sometimes
forces one to confront those fears. This little series is no
exception.
Now I'm not saying that you'll
have to climb down into a pit of vipers or scale the face of a
cliff ... but you might.
Nor am I saying that poisonous
arachnids, insects or other nasty little vermin will be lurking
nearby ... but they could be.
What is hiding in that
hole?
What or whom do YOU
fear?

owner does not in any manner direct or indirect endorse or
otherwise promote rash or dangerous behavior. The
juxtaposition of certain unforeseen events over the course of a
"cache hunt" are not the responsibility of said cache owner.
Furthermore, natural events and/or the presence of natural
inhabitants cannot be predicted with any regularity. Cache
hunters are responsible for discerning conditions and acting
appropriately. Cache owner is not responsible for any injury
of any type that could possibly occur as a result of the cache
hunt. In short, cache at your own risk.

Number four in the series
may give you a buzz. I'm quite certain your heart will be
racing when you reach it as cache is located 120 vertical feet
above trail level through thick rhododendron growth. Due to
thick cover and steep terrain, finding could be a challenge - or
not. Reference point for leaving the trail is the second
waterfall along the Hartsell Hollow trail, coordinates N 36 16.439,
W 082 20.739.
Cache is a plastic, quart
container appropriately adorned and "hanging out" on a very steep
slope. Container is stocked with themed material so bring
appropriate swag. Coordinates are accurate within 12 feet
with over 1,000 readings. Each cache
also contains a clue to the location of the final cache in the
series. Don't forget to write it down or conquer your fear a
second time you must. Please place back as good or
better than you found it so that others can have the same fear
factor "experience".
