Geocache Description:

Multicache located in the Oak Ridge Equestrian Area within the Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve. There is free parking at the “nearby” trailhead for this cache. Refer to the Oak Ridge link above for more information.



If your GPS unit has chirp capabilities this will be a two stage multi cache. To utilize the beacon head to stage 1, provided you have the proper technology, latest firmware and proper GPS settings your unit will receive the coordinates for the final cache. GPS doesn’t chirp?…….Start climbing to look for the cache container with the coordinates for stage 2. Without chirp technology this becomes a more traditional 6 stage multi cache.

Cache was placed in conjunction with the Swamp Rats™ camping event .

For some basic information on beacon caches refer to this web page. If you want more detailed information search the web. Groundspeak does not allow commercial information in a cache listing. Locating the beacon will be of no help. Re-programming the beacon requires a PIN or use of the GPS which originally programmed it.

Finding the 6 stages of the multi cache will take you around the scenic loop trail. Your adventure will head in a somewhat different direction if you are using the beacon as your guide.

The traditional multi cache method requires some tree climbing.

Be safe and enjoy.

PLEASE be sure to tether the final cache container before dropping it into the abyss.
