Geocache Description:

Turkey Knob lies at an elevation of 2,050 feet and is the second highest summit in Kendall County.

Wow, we are way up here, for flatlanders that is. The cache is at approximately 2,020 feet, but just across the road and a little to the northeast the elevation rises to approximately 2,050. The Turkey Knob summit is on private property.

The cul-de-sac at end of the road is the Kendall-Kerr County Line. This area is the USGS Turkey Knob quandrangle.

The county high point is 2,081 feet located in the county's northwest corner.

At 2,450 feet, Rocksprings is the highest point in the Texas Hill Country.

•If you start at the end of Turkey Knob and work your way back, parking is easier on the passenger side for most caches. My caches Turkey Knob, Vanishing Hill Country, Poor Old Walnut, die Texas Windmuhle, 711 Ranch Remnants, Dwarf Palmetto, and Sotol Colony are best accessed by parking on the outbound passenger side. Park on the inbound right for Dantziger Monument, Champee Springs, and Ingenhuett Ranch Remnants.

This cache is a revived final of the late Vanishing Hill Country Quest. This was a good opportunity to bring well-verified coordinates back to life and provide new caches to find in Kendall County. Most of these containers are the originals from 2006, in case you wondered why I used these worn containers.
