Geocache Description:

Welcome to Virginia's newest state park!  Its grand opening was July 6, 2013.  It's still in progress, but it's a pretty cool area so far, lots of brand new trails and things.  This cache is hidden off a path with parking nearby - we have only started exploring so far, however!  You will be trekking through some woods, so take the necessary precautions! :) Per Silvertop, more accurate coordinates are at 703/447


Don't let the title confuse you!  Just because it's the oldest tree in the park, doesn't mean I have any urge to hide a cache there!  I also have no way of knowing this is the oldest tree, but it's pretty old!

I get the feeling this will be tricky, due to the multitude of hiding places and so, so many places that would tempt a seasoned Geocacher!  The place itself isn't so difficult, but there are SO many places to look!

The cache is the small side of small.  BYOP.  It was a favorite of mine for some reason, so it's chock full of tiny tradable items!

The FTF prize is a brand new shiny Geocaching pin!
