The Camels Hump has a lookout offering panoramic views to the north and west.
This is one of three local rocky outcrops formed by volcanic action millions of years ago.
Like nearby Hanging Rock, this rocky outcrop is a mamelon – a volcanic feature formed six million years ago when thick lava squeezed through a narrow vent in the earth’s crust. The highest peak in the range, Camels Hump offers superb views of Hanging Rock and the surrounding countryside.
This cache replaces the archived cache GCWGNB, High on the Hill Top by Spruce Mooses Hidden : 06/09/2006
After reading of its demise, and the placement of a somewhat more extreme cache nearby, GC5F9T5, Beyond Black Mesa - Battle Scars by º Hidden : 10/22/2014, it was thought that the replacement cache would encorage more cachers into the area that may want to try a bit of rock scrambling.
Container is a "small" tube. Its a preform, no swaps, BYO pen.
Terrain: 3, not a climb for the vertiginous or easily disoriented, but peasy for anyone with modicum of coord and good shoes
Difficulty: 3, not in plain sight, nor on the beaten path, but not down the cliff face!
Acknowledging Clever Monkey, baluke and Belleakelea for their logs on the original cache.
