The hike into the woods is short, and once at the cache you are
close to a bit of history. As mentioned in the short description
you are close to a 19th (not 20th) century relic. When you log it,
please don't mention what the relic is; let it be a surprise for
later visitors. A lot of the locals don't even know that it is
here. Now there are several things close to this cache. There is
the "Silver Comet Trail", a multi use trail for walking, biking,
skating. It is built on an old railroad bed and shows on the
Mapquest map as "Seaboard Coast Line Railroad" once you zoom in.
Also as you can see from the coordinates of the cache, you are
close the Degree confluence of 34°N
85°W. When we placed the cache we had to visit the confluence,
even if someone else was the first visitor to it.
The cache is meant to be an easy find, since it is just being
used as an enticement to get people to come and see the relic. But
due to fact that mundanes are now in the area, it is hidden better,
there is an obvious marker (at least to most geocachers). Please
return the marker once you find it. Also the hints give it
completely away, so if you are worried about finding it, read the
hints.
One bit of advice, the Topozone map of this area is wrong. The
error is not the fault of the mapmakers; man altered the terrain of
the area. The Aerial Photograph from Terraserver clearly shows the
change, it is that big.
