Geocache Description:


CCCNP – The Nars(Narrows)

 

The CCCNP caches are in some of the scenic areas of the Preserve and, on the hike to the caches, one will pass many other scenic and beautiful areas. Please use the trail map available at the location of the Cane Creek Canyon Nature Preserve cache and plan your route carefully to minimize your hiking distance. To find all the caches in one trip could require as much as a 10-12 mile hike.

CCCNP – The Nars’ (Narrows)

Near the cache location, Cane Creek narrows and has a lot of large rocks and boulders and several small pools. During high water times, the creek at this location is like a miniature rapids and is quite spectacular. During heavy rains, the water can get quite high. Just upstream from the cache location is a large boulder in the middle of the creek. The water was so high when the remnants of hurricane Rita passed through the area in 2005 that a large log was deposited on the boulder. The log remained balanced on the boulder until it finally fell after perching there for four years!  The log can be seen in the photo above.

The cache is hidden less than 100 feet from the main trail. The cache container is a camouflaged large bison tube. Please put the cache back carefully and exactly as you found it. Note: . If you cross Cane Creek to find the Linden Meadows cache before heading for this cache, I recommend crossing back to the main trail before proceeding on to the 'Nars'. The cache contains a log sheet only so BYOP.

Please do not log this cache as a team find unless the team is a family unit registered only as a family unit. If the individual members of the team are geocaching.com members then each member of the team should sign the log individually. It is not fair to the geocachers that hike up to 10 or 12 miles round trip to find the caches in the Preserve to have “team” members log a find without actually going to the cache site.  Log entries not meeting these requirements may be deleted.
