Geocache Description:

This is the oldest cache in the Richmond area and one of several Inside Pocahontas State Park. It was formerly known as "Geocache" because it didn't have a name. The park does charge a fee for entering ($4.00 weekdays, $5.00 weekends. For more info check out the park's official web site

We'd suggest that you park by the CCC Museum and take the Beaver Lake Trail out to the cache. You will have to bushwhack the last 500-600 feet. The easiest way is from the site of the Old Mill. You'll end up hiking about 2.5 to 3 miles round trip depending on how well you hold your course.

You can also do it from the Old Mill Bicycle Trail with about the same off-trail hike. Although it is a relatively long way from the trail, the forest is fairly easy to traverse. If you intend to return the way you came in, you might want to mark the point where you go off-trail -- the woods can be confusing.

Please take a picture of your visit to Richmond's Original and upload it with your log for the cache memory book.
