Geocache Description:


There is evidence all over Bald Mountain of mine shafts.  This particular cache takes you to one.  Unfortunately, all the shafts I came across were filled in with rocks or I would have taken you down into one.  Oh, well.

To get to this cache, park in the lot to the south and walk north.  Cut across when the cache is almost due east of you.  Your path should also take you through a recently burned area of Bald Mountain (November 26).  This was not a controlled burn.  Wander around if you'd like, then notice the stark contrast between the burned forest and where the fire did not reach.  I hiked around the burned area when it was still smouldering, warm, and some things were still burning.  It was a sight to behold.  I held off on publishing this cache until the fires had all been put out.
