wandering4cache: Rather than replace this cache at this location, we've decided to place a new one in honor of her namesake. So look for "Clara Barton Lives On" in the next couple days.

Thanks for all the past visits.

About 2/3 mile hike round trip - although there are several ways to get there. Bring bug spray in summer as your hunt may take longer than it would in winter. Cache is a 2.5 gal pail painted black placed about 85' off a main trail. The difficulty rating of 2 is for the hunt to find the parking area & how to SIMPLY get to the cache location. Happy caching!

Small hint for all seasons: You will not get wet - unless you want to. Find another way around! River crossing not necessary.

Larger hint for when water is higher: To not get wet, you may REALLY need to find another way around.
