Geocache Description:

A small lock and lock hidden near a very nice small waterfall and an old abandoned mine, shack and truck.  Yes, an old Ford truck!


We were brought to this beautiful spot when we failed to find "Gollum's Precious" a year and bit ago.  It has since been archived. See the cache page for "Gollum's Precious" at http://coord.info/GC143PB for more history of the trail.

SherwoodBC and I were placing other caches along the trail and decide that this lovely spot needed a new cache.  While looking for a place for the new cache, we walked right up to the old cache... thinking that it would be a good spot to hide a cache.

After talking to the old CO, we are taking over the spot and old container with his permission.  So come and visit this old mine site just off a great trail and beside a lovely waterfall.

The cache is not in or on the old truck, or the collapsed cabin.  It will not be found in the old mine or near it's entrance.  There is no point in looking under the waterfall; you will just get wet.  No bushwacking, climbing, swimming or mining is required.  Very near the side trail to the mine.

That is not to say that you should not look at all the above in this interesting area.
