Geocache Description:

A nice hike, scenic lake and mountain views, and an all-around fun time await...

This cache is located inside Stone Mountain Park. There is a $10 entry fee for vehicles. Folks on bikes or on foot can enter for free.

Though this cache can be hunted (just about) as a park-n-grab, the spirit in which it was placed encompasses a more leisurely and scenic experience and so I will describe it as such...

Parking:
Though there are certainly many places to park in the area and many ways to access this cache, I recommend parking here: N 33 47.909, W 084 08.343

Description:
From the parking area, you will cross the road, head down hill, and venture across a spit of land that seperates Venable Lake from Stone Mountain Lake. From there it's a nice hike along the water's edge all the way to the cache. Be sure to check out the great views of the southern side of Stone Mountain. You'll also pass a cool little cascading water feature and will have a nice view of the covered bridge in the distance. When you're near the cache, you'll be basically under the shadow of the Marriott Resort.

Difficulty:
The hike should take anywhere from 15-30 minutes (one-way) depending on your motivation and/or site-seeing stops. The terrain rating of 2.5 merely reflects the length of the hike as opposed to truly difficult hiking. Kids will love it, but strollers won't...

The cache is a brown lock-n-lock container (a bit bigger than the sandwich sized ones).

Initial contents:
$5 Wal-Mart gift card, toy badges, glow sticks, drink cozy, small camp trowel, mini 1st aid kit, bug wipes, log book, pens.

Enjoy and have fun!

CONGRATS to Team Bagley on their first FTF!
