Geocache Description:

Cache is located close to trail taking you to Bulge Hole. 
I have included a link to an interesting article about this spot.

Located within the Shawnee National Forest, is a place is called Bulge Hole Ecological Area. The peculiar name refers to a bulging rock overhang that is a hybrid between a shelter and a cave. At first glance, the Bulge Hole looks like any old shelter. But the interior keeps going and going......until the ceiling and floor finally meet in the darkness. With large trees sitting in front, it's difficult to capture the entire formation at once. From a distance, the hole appears as a black void. From above, it's only possible to see a portion of the opening. The entire shelter is U-shaped, encompassing the head of the canyon. A small creek empties into the canyon via a waterfall. Just downstream, the creek passes below a second large shelter with its own wet-weather waterfall. If this formation were located anywhere else, it would be a big deal. But not here. It looks puny compared to the Bulge Hole.
