Geocache Description:

Top secret falls 4wd, hike, stream crossing, bushwacking, tricky terrain..wonderful Bring a pencil

Fall creek is upstream from where you leave the saddle. Just keep watching the other side for s small stream confluence. Cross the stream as best you can and I recommend procurring a walking stick if you did not bring one. Further upstream you might be able rock hop this stream, but don't even think about crossing during spring run off without training and experience in techical crossings. That said, its pretty easy late July and you will probably get you feet wet here or on up. To get to the cache, you will evenually have to be on the left side (downstream relative to the middle fork) . Some distance up stream there is a little cliff with overhanging moss and a tree that for some reason grew out and up and almost seems to be floating in thin air. The cache is at the base of the tree under a rock and some thought is required to figure out how to get up there. I got up there on the upstream side, but down on the downstream side. Either way, its a bit tricky so watch your step. Put your gps in your pocket as you will need both hands most likely. Besides, reception here is not so good. The dogs made it (after some whining by bonnie) so it can't be that bad Tip: Second visit to the cache I hiked up on the S side (left) of fall creek keeping about 30 or feet above the water. This works well even though the terrain in a bit steep, it will lead you to the "floating tree" next to a marvolous be of lush moss.Flip over the rock , and there it is ( scratch around in case it sinks in or get buried again)
