Geocache Description:

POTA (Planet of the Apes) - A series of caches paying homage to the original Planet of the Apes movies and characters.

The coordinates listed are NOT for the cache location. They are for one point of entry into the park's pathway system. The cache is a small camo-taped screw top container. Finding this one may be easy, getting it out may be another matter. Congrats to Lifeguard1 for the FTF.


This cache is called POTA - Taylor. Colonel George Taylor is an American astronaut, and the leader of a space expedition, in the movie Planet of the Apes. Taylor and his crew crash land on an unknown planet that is ruled by apes. You can read more about this character and the film at this website Planet of the Apes Wiki
