Geocache Description:


There's not really a lake here at the bottom of Hungry Hollow, but when we were looking for places to put the cache, our younger son kept yelling up to his brother "we're down by the lake!" Thus the cache was named. There were some flooded areas nearby which may creep closer to the cache in other seasons, but you should still be able to access the cache while keeping your feet dry.

You are looking for a camo'd pill bottle. Originally there was a small unopened Mega Blocks toy for someone who might like that sort of thing. Coordinates were averaged using an Oregon 550.

Update 13 April 2014. Container was moved about 1m, and lower down, due to the original tree stump getting dug out by animals. If the cache slipped all the way down, it would be very difficult to get at. The new hide is somewhat sneakier (if the cover holds), so we have upped the difficulty to 2. Coordinates are still the same.

Update 9 August 2017: logbook-only cache has been CITO'd and replaced with a camo'd medium-size pill bottle.
