Geocache Description:

Another cache brought to you by a member of the

This cache is located in an area known as Carver Mill. Out of love for the sport of off-road driving, I decided to give back to my fellow off-roading geocachers. Permission has been granted by the property owner (see AGREEMENT & DISCLAIMER below). Parking and/or recommended starting point of your search can be found at the following coordinates: N 34°57.072 W 081°59.032.

Although you can hike in and find the caches scattered around this area, it is not recommended. There are a creek that will have to be crossed in order to hunt this cache, and you will be doing a lot of up and down hiking. Of course, if you find yourself without a mode of transportation to navigate to the cache, you can always give me a ring - I am always up for some off-camber fun.

This is a park-n-grab off-road style. You can pull within 50 feet of the cache, but getting there will be the challenge. Put it in 4-wheel drive, lock 'em if you have 'em, and enjoy the hunt for the cache.

 
This cache will take you to a crossroads of which you have 4 directions to choose from. If coming from the parking coords, one direction will take you back the way you came.  One way will take you to the Trinity Tree cache.  Another path, to the Marker cache. And the final direction will take you to a steep drop off into Fairforest creek, which I suggest you not attempt.  Of course, your decision of direction is of no concern if you are just looking for this particular smiley. You are hunting for an ammo can that is hidden from view and protected by sporatic patches of poison ivy.  You may encounter muggles while searching for this one so use of stealth is required.  Replace the cache as found, choose a direction, and enjoy the rest of your day.
