Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small nalgene bottle with screw top lid.

This one is #2 in this area. Very unusual that two knob near each other like this. Its known as "The Cuckoo" This one, its not your typical park and grab. You'll need to come prepared.
Last 600 ft or so is all bushwhacking, no trails.

Roundtrip hike approx 7miles. This is #2 of two knobs in the area. Once in the general area you will climb approx 200' to the summit. Again, come prepared. Hiking poles, raingear and plenty of fluids are recommended. Come spend the day in the woods !


Cache is along the Iron Mtn Trail. This is a great Mountain Bike trail Here's the write up on Trails.com:

The IMT (Iron Mountain Trail), uses closed service roads as well as singletrack to make up the thoroughly challenging -- both technically and physically -- eight and a half miles in between FS 90 and Damascus. It's fairly easy and inexpensive to use the shuttle service (if you choose) which is provided by the local stores in Damascus. The initial mile-long climb will give you a great return on the speedy downhill that follows, and it's worth every labored breath. Doubletrack gives way to tight singletrack; thick forest canopies break away into ski-wide overlooks. Creek crossings and narrow jumbles of stone that require careful maneuvering -- it's all here. This ride lies within the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, uses a section of the former treadway of the Appalachian Trail, and passes near Iron Mountain.

Cache is covered up, please replace as you found it!
