Geocache Description:

Located at the Three Ridges Overlook at Wintergreen Resort, this cache is a log-only (BYOP) small metal micro bison tube. The terrain is 1.5, NOT higher!! The cache is near a steep hill, but you do not need to go down it! Basically a P & G.

This cache series is intended to take you to the many overlooks that Wintergreen has to offer. Some are more scenic than others. This one is very scenic. From here you should see the "Three Ridges," but from my perspective there are lots of ridges and you get to pick which three are the special three :)

The log is a bit difficult to get out, use a pen cap or other (gentle) tool if necessary. When you replace the log, roll it up and stick it in the cap, then screw the rest of it on.

Enjoy the view, please be stealthy! This spot is heavily used for parking during ski season, and is a popular spot for hikers/bikers/people-with-cameras/etc any other time of year. For this reason, recommended at night! I tried to place it so you could be discreet...sketchy, but still discreet...even with people around the parking lot.

Congrats to Team FairCorn on the FTF!
