On A Clear Day.... Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The_Curmudgeon: Went up to check on this cache. It was left out in the open, the lid was placed ON the cache (not closed up, just on it) and there were only two pitiful items left along with a soaked napkin. This cache is hereby archived.

Geocache Description:

This cache is on top of High Knob, near the Observation Tower.

The fire observation tower on top of High Knob, near Norton, was once used to spot forest fires. I understand that some lonely person used to live up there for weeks at a time. Since I was a child, I have been told that on a clear day you can see 5 states (VA-KY-TN-NC-WV). Maybe you and your family will be able to see that far from the top of the tower!

Original contents of the cache reflect its location. Included in the cache: Smokey Bear pins, key rings, patches and pencils. Also, a very cheap (99 cents) pair of kid's binoculars and a brass candlestick (minus the candle, of course!). Tried to stay with the theme of forest fires and fire prevention, but you don't have to. Swap anything you want!

This should be a very easy cache with few changes in elevation and only a little hike up the trail. Enjoy!
