There is a reason for such a high terrain
difficulty rating. It all depends on the weather and how you decide
to go in. If you decide to take in a motor vehicle, you must follow
this list...
1. It should be a 4WD. Now, I'm sure there
are some 2WD cars that can make it around back here, but it can be
deep sand and a lot of DEEP mud! I suggest 4WD with a ton of ground
clearance.
2. If you are not confident in your vehicles
ability to go offroad then DO NOT attempt this cache with said
vehicle. You may get stuck in the mud that's deeper than you
think.
3. Carry about $300 cash or a valid credit
card. No, we are not sitting back there charging a toll. That's
what it will cost to get you out of the mud that's deeper than you
think.
4. The mud hole that we got stuck in and was
deeper than we thought is very near to the cache. Please approach
slowly and with extreme caution. Also, try to stick to dry, wide,
dirt roads. The sand is a lot easier to deal with than the mud.
Again, the cache is close to the mud hole that was deeper than we
thought. APPROACH WITH EXTREME CAUTION!
None of those were a joke. We got stuck in
the mud that was deeper than we thought and it really cost us $300
to get a tow out of the mud. And that was just being pulled out of
the mud that was deeper than we thought. We were able to drive back
to the main road.
If you are walking or riding a bike, then
you should have no problem at all getting to the cache. Again, your
decision should be based on how much confindence you have in your
vehicle and your driving ability. We took a Chevy Tracker in and
its 4WD was great in the sand, no issue there. But we did get into
some mud that was deeper than we thought. The Tracker sunk right to
the ground. The whole under carriage was on the ground. Please use
serious caution if you are going to attempt this in a motor vehicle
and do watch out for the mud.
Having said all of that, it's now time for
the fun part. This is a lock and lock container with an orange top.
There are a few goodies inside, along with a travel bug. You'll
notice the goodies are tow trucks. If you can, please try to keep
to the towing theme. Again, this is to commemerate us getting stuck
in the mud that was deeper than we thought. So, if you have
anything to do with towing...a hotwheels, matchbox, tow company
business cards, or anything of the like, feel free to keep to the
theme. Have fun with this one too. A lot of wildlife to see and
great place for anyone who likes nature photography.
