Geocache Description:


This is a reissue of an archived cache(previous finders are welcome to log it again). Parking available at the Alston Park's north lot. Depending on the route you take, a moderate hike with some decent elevation changes may be needed to reach the cache site. Please close the container tightly to keep it dry and replace it securely in its hiding spot.

In the vicinity of the cache site, joggers and hikers have reported witnessing an apparition in the early evening hours. The ghostly figure appears to drag an object from one side of the hill, across the rocks at the bottom, and up the other side. There is no definite story to provide a reference for this figure, only conjecture. One theory is that the spirit belongs to a deceased hunter and the object he is dragging is his kill, possibly a deer. Another theory is that the spirit belongs to a pioneer who was wounded in a fight with Native Americans and the object he is dragging may be a fellow wounded settler. Did you just hear footsteps ?

Congratulations to TheSparkyTeam for first to find !
