This is Chambers County Road 268. It is very odd that Randolph Country Road 16 ends at Randolph County road 268 to the north and Chambers County road 268 to the south. Of course Chambers County is a poor county, so it is full of poorly maintained dirt roads and the only school system and road system that has filed bankruptcy in the area. So this will be the "Down Under Section", highlighted by the negative numbers (-01) is the first official one in the county. You can count "Where Eagles Soar" as number 00. From the Fire Tower to the Lake. To make this area very exciting place for cachers to come, I have set out to make it a place you can find a lot of caches real fast without having to go to the desert. I have written very helpful information at CR 16 #01. Please read it, I hope it helps make your experience a pleasurable one.

There are 160 numbered caches on this powertrail it runs from the now unused, wasted, shamefully closed State Line Park (a beautiful and large park) in Chambers County, Alabama all the way to the Potash Ridge fire tower (also a waste and shame to be let go) in Randolph County, Alabama.

Welcome to JustinPike's Fire to Water PowerTrail.

First, let's go over a few ground rules:

1. Always pull ALL THE WAY off the road at a safe pull off point. There is one either at, before or after the cache on the same or opposite side of the road. Some will require you to walk a little ways, but it is best to be safe.
2. Always look for traffic before opening your door and getting out, when crossing the road, returning to your car or pulling out onto the road.
3. Please be aware of muggles. Some caches may be placed in view of a residence in the distance. Do not TRESPASS! None of the caches are on private property! If someone is out side or sitting on the porch, pass the cache up. Suspicious activity may result in the archiving of some caches. If you carry a caching stick and a plastic bag for trash, you can easily disappear from the minds of any muggles by appearing to be picking up cans or trash. :) Just a thought!
4. I do not recommend this for children. These caches are all 35 mm film canisters or similar. Absolutely NONE of these are on PRIVATE PROPERTY! DO NOT TRESPASS! There are a few exceptions, that are pico tubes, but not many. Bring your own pen.
5. I nor anyone else involved in caching is responsible for any accidents. You cache at your own risk, whether it be on foot, bicycle, motorcycle, helicopter, horseback, dog chain, airplane or automobile. If you are not an adult and are not able to be responsible for your own actions and any accidents, DON'T DO THESE CACHES!
6. Wear safety vests or very bright reflective colors, so that you are seen.
7. Turn on your hazard lights and pull all the way off the road at a safe spot before stopping.
8. There may be poison ivy, ticks, thorns, chiggers, spiders, ants, dogs, drunk drivers, snakes and other biting critters or plants that hurt. Difficulty may change with time of year. CARRY A FIRST AID KIT that includes at minimum: Bug Repellent, Plasters, Band Aids, Gloves, Sting Reliever (Sting Rid), Hydrocortisone Cream, Sun Tan Oil, Mace (for dogs) (we petted all but the Pit Bull at #66), Alcohol, Wasp Spray, safety buddy and plenty of water.
9. Traffic is busy in early morning or evening during traffic times 6-9 AM and 4-6 PM.
10. These containers are not completely weather proof but due to my teenage finances, I cannot afford a lot. I have placed a log sheet inside a plastic bag and then in the container. There is NO PEN OR PENCIL. I cannot afford to keep replacing baggies, if people keep ripping them and throwing them on the ground. I will have no choice but to archive this entire trail. Please help me to help all geocachers have a fun experience by not damaging these caches. I really want this to be around a very very long time. I need your help.
Please replace as found and have fun!
