Geocache Description:


J.O.T. is a twist on the popular Just Off the Exit (JOE) caches -- this one is located Just Off the Trail at Woodpecker Ridge Nature Center (a hidden jewel near Roanoke).


Register your car at the Visitor area, coordinates below. Pick up a hiking map from the sign-in area or download one here. All of the "action" is located off to the right; but you'll want to hike off to the left for about a third of a mile. (We wanted to locate it in an area that wouldn't upset the delicate ecosystems located here.) However, we hope that after finding the cache you check out the other points of interest.

You are looking for a camouflaged ammo can that we got at this Spring's event cache in Bristol. (Thanks, Konnarock Kid!) We have stuffed it full of great stuff, including an unactivated Travel Ingot for the FTF'er.

IMPORTANT: We noticed a deer stand in this area. If you go out in hunting season, please wear something that makes you look very different from a critter! Also, there is an outhouse, but if you think you might have to use it, bring TP.

Finally, for reasons that will be obvious when you get here, please note that no domestic animals are allowed.

Extra points if you put in your log what animal tracks you saw, what types of wildlife sounds you heard, and any photos taken that impressed you along this journey.

Coords were averaged over a thousand times, but the accuracy never got below 10'. Please let us know how your coords compare with ours so we can improve the accuracy. The bench from the hint is MIA so we will have to revisit the cache to come up with a new hint
