Geocache Description:

Note 8/4/2011: New camoed container created by WashingtonIrving81. Moved about 30 feet away. Coordinates and hint have been adjusted accordingly. Have FUN!!!

This cache is the fifth in the hidden treasure series. Hopefully I will find more to share.

Wow, was this a find. I was driving by and just happened to see a small brown sign 879 (look at parking coordinates). I figured let's take a quick look. I crossed over the makeshift bridge and walked the hemlock lined old forest service road along a creek. Look for the great C-shaped hemlock about half way to the cache that bends out over the road. I was going to put a small cache there but decided to walk just a little more. I sure am glad I did.

This is a short quarter mile or so walk over pretty easy terrain. The terrain is 3.5 due to the creek crossing (do-able with hiking boots) and a bit of elevation gain to the cache location. Satellite coverage was sketchy so make sure you take the spoiler hint with you.

WORD OF CAUTION!! - Please use common sense and don't put yourself in any unnecessary danger. Unfortunately too many people get hurt each year at waterfalls similar to this one because they had to get a little closer.

Small note: As required by the USFS for caches hidden in the Chattahoochee National Forest the cache is prominantly labeled as a geocache and the label includes the GC2MZEJ waypoint number and the owner's e-mail address. Enjoy!
