The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
A cache in Caledon Natural Area. Walk the scenic trails through old growth forest in this Virginia park. Caledon's principle role is a Bald Eagle preserve. At more than 2500 acres, Caledon protects a large tract of forest, and provides nearly eight miles of year round hiking trails, with additional trails open in the off-season.
You are looking for an ammo can near the Locust Glen and Benchmark trails. GPS reception was a bit spotty when placing this cache, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.
Take an ellipse with the major axis running north/south centered at the posted coordinates.
- The major axis length = 538.5 feet
- The minor axis length = 200.0 feet
- The cache is located at the southern focus.
- Assume that there are 60 miles per degree latitude.

Placed with permission. Parking is at the main lot by the visitor center. Grab some other caches while you're there. Park hours are 8:00 am to sunset, and there is a parking fee of $3.00 during the week and $4.00 weekends and holidays. Get all the park's caches while you are there. Stop and enjoy the visitor center if it's open!
