Geocache Description:


"There is pleasure in the pathless woods. There is rapture on the lonely shore. There is society where none intrudes. By the deep sea and music in it's roar. I love not man the less, but nature more"
~ Lord Byron

"Not All Who Wander Are Lost" is a series of caches that may be out of the way but should be worth the trip. The caches in the series require you to explore locations after the pavement ends. Many of the caches have unique containers, high rated terrain, and not your typical attributes.

Also part of the mini series: "Off-Road / Jeeping"

To reach GZ travel from Trafalgar Road to the Waypoint provided.  The street sign for Avenby Drive is hard to read and the dirt road is easy to miss.  Travel East on Avenby Drive, I parked near the 2nd evergreen tree.  Even in early Spring the side of the road was covered in thorns and vines.  I cleared a path with my trusty machete to a dry creek bed (creek may have flowing water after a rain) and cliff side.  The cache is hidden in the rocks of the cliff to the north of the creek.  Be watchful for wildlife. You are looking for a tube used for storing paintballs.  Please re-hide the cache so that the next cacher can enjoy the hunt.

There are a couple other caches down the dirt road but an off-road vehicle with high clearance and 4-wheel drive may be required. I also posted a photo of new mountain bike / hiking trails that starts near the cache.
