Geocache Description:


Rocky Barrens
Conservation Area

This cache is in a gallon plastic jar. You will find this cache looking at the boats going by. Dispite what you may read in previous logs, you do not have to cross the river, you do not have to cross a fence, you do not have to rappell down a cliff. There is a great jeep road most of the way to this cache and then you will bushwack the final 340' or so. The final 20' is a little steep and slippery, but safe for most people. The key to this cache is starting in the right place! If the parking lot doesn't say Rocky Barrens, then you are in the wrong place. The trail head is on farm road 105 just north of O Hwy.

*** NOTE ON COORDS *** This area in down in a gully with dense tree cover, especially in spring/summer. Coords that work in winter are different that than those that work in summer. The listed coords are the combination of me taking a 500 iteration average at the site in late summer (heavy leaves and foliage) and coords from several other cachers on the correct side of the river. If you have followed directions above and your final coords put you across the river, simply ignore them and put your geosenses to work or use some of the coords left from people in the winter months.
