Spiders, Snakes & Other Creepy Crawlies Traditional Cache

When you live by a lake, there are lots of spiders, snakes and other interesting things.  Actually we’ve only ever seen one snake in the last year and half so don’t be afraid.  This ammo can geocache is loaded with spiders, snakes, lizards and frogs.  It is a great cache for families.  You do not need to go far into the woods, nor do you need to go way down hill.  Have fun!

Hicotaminy  is what the native Indians called the area which means "great turkey buzzard".  Seems the turkey buzzards have been around a long time since we still see them daily at Hyco as we now call it. 

Hyco Lake was constructed in the early 60's as a cooling reservoir for a steam electric generating plant. Hyco Lake is located in Person County, NC 10 miles west of Roxboro, NC on NC Highway 57. Since its establishment, the lake and its recreation park has been under the jurisdiction of the Person-Caswell Lake Authority which is responsible for governing and developing the recreation potential of the lake and park. The water is regulated by the N.C. Natural Resources. The lake covers 3,750 acres (25 billion gallons of water!) with 120 miles of shoreline. The lake was filled in the Spring of 65 after Hurricane Hilda dumped her bounty and has provided exceptional outdoor recreational opportunities which continue to delight residents and visitors alike. The lake was constructed on the Hyco River and has 3 main tributaries, North Hyco Creek, South Hyco Creek and Cobbs Creek.
