Geocache Description:

Want to see a bird (in this case a Robin) fly out of Lake Lure? Just have a new cache listing pop up, and here he comes, sometimes even before daylight!


Old Gray Climber created a monster when he introduced his friend RobinMohawk to geocaching just a little over a year ago. Now no new cache listing within 50 miles is safe! In his first year of caching, Robin scored 76 First to Finds, averaging 13% of his total finds.

Here's a sample of his exuberance. On 03/09/2012 he logged One Step at a Time: "FTF! FTF! Whoopie! 7:14am. Early bird gets the worm. However, since I don't like worms, I tried for 3 FTFs and got them all, much better than worms. ... As I left I saw someone slowly crossing the front of the building, I thought 'Cacher?! If so, too late!' "

This cache is dedicated to RobinMohawk.
Will he get the FTF? I KNOW he'll try!

Safe parking at N 35º 29.237 W 82º 10.995, south of small bridge.
