Obstructed View Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

mobywv: This cache had a good run, but I think it's time. I would like to open the area up for some new caches. It's a nice trail, after all. Thanks for all the finds and hope you all enjoyed the beautiful yet obstructed view. :)

Geocache Description:

One day I was doing some hiking in Leesylvania State Park on the Lee's Woods Trail. That day I ended up going off the trail a bit. In the process, I found a nice private spot to sit down at, stretch my legs, and have a lil' lunch. I enjoyed my time at the spot, despite the obstructed view, so I decided to place a cache there. To get to this spot could be a bit tricky. Please read on!

OK, the easiest way to get to the cache is to follow the Lee's Woods Trail up to the overlook. From there, continue down the trail. At a certain point, you will need to bushwhack. Depending where you begin the bushwhack, makes all the difference in the world when it comes to the terrain you will encounter.

My strong recommendation is to stick on the Lee's Woods Trail until you reach the waypoint I've listed. Once you reach this waypoint on the trail, then begin your bushwhack. There is no need to go down the nearby hill at the waypoint. Assuming you take this route, it should be a fairly simple bushwhack to the cache.

Do not start your bushwhack into the woods directly from the VSP Leesylvania Birding Adventure cache, make sure to head BACK UP to the Lee trail (red markings) and stick on it. Bushwhacking straight into the woods from the VSP cache ups the terrain to about a four.

Regardless of the route you take, a good pair of trail shoes is recommended. Older kids should be OK to take along. The cache is small in size. Could possibly fit some small travel bugs and geocoins inside, but that's about it. Permission was obtained from the land manager to place this cache. Have fun and happy caching!
