Geocache Description:

A small cache in Sunny Hollow, and a tribute to carbon.

What about carbon? Carbon is the basis for everything organic, including your body and mine.

Interesting things about carbon:

  • Pencil lead is made of carbon
  • Diamonds are made of carbon
  • Coal is made of carbon
  • Cow farts are made of carbon
  • You are made of carbon

Carbon has 6 protons. Meanwhile, this hide should be fun. My first attempt at placing this was too close to the nearby IHP cache, so I had to venture quite a bit deeper to find a location that exceeds the original in beauty. You can approach from a certain Sunny Hollow mountain biking trail, accessible via Hercules Dr (there's a map at the trailhead, and the trail signs I saw were blue). There are also a couple of pull-offs on Rt. 7 that you could approach from. The bushwhack I took to place this cache would make most lose their breath, but there may be better approaches. Also, I have a $50 GPSr, so don't take the coordinates for granted.
