Cache was hidden on a recent "foray" exploring
trails which did not show on a map, and, which, led to unknown
places.
There are still other trails to explore, but I wanted to interest
others in visiting this area.
Enjoy!
To get to the cache(s) in the area,the trailhead is almost directly
across the street
from the parking area (coordinates approximated).
Parking area is a dirt pulloff large enough for several cars;
other areas are nearby; this is the closest to the
trailhead.
Trail starts behind the 3 large boulders blocking it from ATV
access.
When leaves are on the ground, the trail may be somewhat hard to
see.
The trail heads straight back from the rocks about 100 yards, then
turns off to the right at about 30 degrees.
This cache (and others of mine in the area) are directly off the
trails (less than 100'), requiring only minor bushwhacking.
The cache is located on NWCDC property which requires a hiking
permit.
