Geocache Description:

Is in a shallow tunnel entrance, no caving required

Cache is a log book and pencil, now behind a rock at the base of the slope. In the holes under ledge is where fruit bats live (they are harmless).

Unfortunately, we have been fighting a dumping problem in this vicinity that detracts from this unique feature. A little too involved for CITO. Try not to let this irresponsible behavior keep you from this experience.

This cache was originally placed by Jim Johnson/WalkNevis, but the account has been transferred to the Nevis Ministry of Tourism to help preserve his original collection of caches placed on Nevis. Jim was a naturalist and guide who hid these well thought-out caches highlighting many unique natural and historical features on the Island. Cachers have told us that Jim’s caches are one of the best collections of caches by a single CO that they have encountered. Jim passed away in a house fire in 2010.

Original hint by original CO: Beneath the ground, the cache doth lie. Near the place where Fruit bats fly. Go around the bank, it’s an easy search. With a rope on the wall is where it should perch. You don't need to enter the depression now. Thanks go to gerrydm replacing the hide and keeping this unique cache available to find.
