This is the fifth in the TOSOBL (The other side of Boone Lake) Series.
In looking at the Geocaching Map recently, I noticed that although there are an abundance of caches on the west or airport side of Boone Lake, there are very few on the east or Piney Flats side. This series will attempt to remedy that situation.
I found this area when attempting to log a FTF on a nearby island cache. Although I failed in my quest for that cache, I hid the first in this series that day. Now I have returned to hide some more.
I am posting parking coordinates for the access point to this area. You will want to do some homework before you leave to determine the driving route. Parking for two or three vehicles is at a gate beyond which motorized vehicles are prohibited.
The hunt for this cache will take you close to the lake. You may choose to bushwhack to it from other caches in the series, or follow the road in and bushwhack uphill to reach it. Either way, bushwhacking is required.
A bonus cache is hidden that will be accessible only to those who have found numbers one thru eight in the TOSOBL series.
NOTE: This cache includes a clue to the coords for the bonus cache!
Have fun, be safe, and be mindful of the rules posted at the parking area.
UPDATE: I replaced the cache container on Jan. 15, 2017. Read Maintenance Log below for more details.
Congratulations to mharman02 and babe for FTF. They braved the elements at midnight to prove that this can be done in the dark and rain!
