Mother Goose Cache Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Erwinia of B & E: This cache is being put to rest to open up this beautiful park to new Geocaches. Hopefully this will excite most. This cache lasted more years than I ever imagined it would when we first placed it. It was fun to use the Mother Goose Fairy Tale rhymes as clues to make for an exciting and adventurous multi-cache. Thanks to all who made the effort to find it. Erwinia

Geocache Description:

This is a four stage multi cache located in one of the most beautiful areas of the county. You can expect a 2 1/2 or 3 mile hike, depending on where you park, and which trails you use. There is an admission fee to the park on weekends and holidays: $3 per car for Mecklenberg County residents, $5 for non-residents (There is no admission fee from Nov. 1 to Feb. 28).

The park closes at dark.
We expect this hunt will take 3 or 4 hours to complete (maybe less if you have keen eyesight), so plan accordingly. We recommend that you stop and get a map at N 35° 06.016', W 081° 01.220' (You will have to go inside to get it, and they close at 5:00 pm). This will make your journey much easier. The first three clues are all within 50 feet of the trail, so don't bother with too much bushwacking. The final cache is a little farther off trail, about 100 feet. The first clue will be given to you by Humpty Dumpty. Along the way you are likely to see many kinds of wildlife, and you will pass some good fishing spots, too. We hope you enjoy this adventure.
