Geocache Description:

YOU NEED TO READ THIS PAGE!!!!!!!!



BRING A COMPASS AND PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY NEAR THE CACHE!!!

Short quarter mile walk on 2 terrain. Rated 3 terrain due to small uphill bushwack at the very end and one very small creek crossing near parking. Stay on the trail until you get to the little side trail 150 ft or so from cache. It is obvious. No need to bushwack to the tree from the main trail.

Gentjack, the Boxerlady duo, and myself were visiting one of my other hiking/waterfall caches in the area (Cochran Creek's Hidden Treasure GC2NPJ3) when Boxerlady mentioned a special find of theirs on my Bearden Creek's Hidden Treasure hike. This tree find of theirs was very intriguing to both Gentjack and myself as we are definitely tree junkies. Well Gentjack had not been to Bearden Creek's Hidden Treasure yet so we decided to add another hike in our day.

On our way to the waterfall, we found the little side road off our path and walked the 150 feet or so to the tree. As we get closer we just can't believe what we are seeing. In both of our travels, we have never seen anything quite like it. Of course Gentjack says, "This is definitely cache worthy!!!". So we placed one.

Satellite reception was not great in the area for us. So the posted coords will take you to the tree. You will know the tree. From the nose of the tree, go 25-30 paces at 150 degrees to find the cache.

Congrats Boxerlady Crew on FTF!!!!



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 GC2QVQ9 waypoint number and the owner's e-mail address. Enjoy!
