We hope you enjoy our first cache offering...
Bring your own camera and upload your images!
This cache overlooks what I incorrectly assumed was Eggleston Falls
but is actually Fisher Dam (see update below) which is hidden among
a thick forest which is heavily foliated in the summer and more
open in winter as the trees shed their leaves.
You can park at the Smith River Trails - Marrowbone canoe launch
parking lot. From there, the falls will beckon as you draw closer
to the cascades. |
UPDATE!
Thanks to cacher LinkOtaru777 for providing the following corrected
information about this site: "... This cache is actually at Fisher
Dam--a man made dam on the Marrowbone Creek. Mr. Fisher owned the
Fisher Farm all along Marrowbone Creek and built this around 1930.
He made his own hydro-electric power and used it to milk 200 cows
everyday. Plus all the farm houses had electricity. And the roads
had street lights.
Eggleston Falls is north(to the left) on the dirt road across from
the Marrowbone Canoe Access. The road runs along side the Smith
River and about a mile up you will find the Eggleston Falls. This
is not a big falls, but water over some large rocks. And it is a
very beautiful stretch of the river.
Nice wading,fishing, and sunning areas. The roadway (not meant for
any type of vehicle) can be muddy, but mostly level. ..."
Based on his description the actual locations are as shown in the
image to the right.
The cache is a camo lock-and-lock regular sized container nestled
just off the path 40ft or so.
There should be minimal exposure to muggles here but some come this
way to fish.
Amongst the initial contents are as follows:
FTF prize: Slinky - Others:Mars Attacks DVD, Jewel Necklace
(originally from Rodans Roots 3), A sample soap bar,
GarbagePailKids Pack, Gamera sticker, Plastic Bug, Burger King -
Indiana Jones rip cord toy, Red Zone sample can., An eraser pen,
Green Scented Candle, Magic Bubbles
Enjoy!
