Geocache Description:

The only shadow you will find over 15 km on the old Israel trail path and the road to Eilat.

In this section of the Israel national trail, there are actually two different paths for the trail. This cache is located on the old route of the trail. The new path go east, through the Arava, but many still choose the old path which is shorter.

This section of the trail, from the Ammonites wall in the Ramon crater to Wadi Faran is about 15 km long. A major difficulty is that it is almost impossible to find any shadow on this section, which is empty of any trees. The cache site is a memorial which is located in the middle of nothing. This memorial is probably the only piece of shadow you'll find for many kilometers. You can also stop here with your car, on your way to or from Eilat.

The cache is 180ml L&L container. Its original content is log, card deck, Led torch key holder, marble and smiley (please bring your own pen).

IMPORTANT:
1. The road and the trail are passing here between military firing zones. Keep walking on the trail (it passes very close to the road).
2. Rocks are the home of snakes and scorpions. Especially in the desert, it is a good habbit to avoid putting your hand into places you can't see. Use a stick and electric torch to look into holes
