Cloudland Canyon State Park sits on Lookout Mountain in the NW corner of the state of Georgia. There is a $5 daily entrance fee, unless you are a member of the Friends of Georgia State Parks!
This cache is an ammo box, placed inside a distinctive large hollow but still living tree along the Sittons Gulch Trail.
Because you are down in a canyon, GPS signal will bounce. Coordinates are averaged from 6 different readings, all within 12-23 feet. Be mindful that many creatures enjoy being near water and take usual precautions against ticks, snakes and poison ivy. Hiking stick and bug spray are highly recommended, especially in the summer months.
Placed with permission of the park manager and park naturalist. Please take care to understand the basic rules of geocaching in order to help keep the game enjoyable for all who participate. Please do not move or vandalize the container. Replace the cache like or better than you found it (exactly where you found it).
Sign the log book and leave it in the cache. If you want to take any of other items in the cache, they are there for trade; be sure to leave something of equal or greater value, but don't leave any kind of food items, or anything that is highly aromatic, which could attract critters/creatures/rodents/bugs!
All trails (and the Sitton Gulch gated parking area) in Cloudland Canyon State Park close at sunset. This is a daylight-only find.
Please note you will drive through a residential area on your way to the well-marked parking area and trailhead. Please be respectful and do not park in driveways or along roads.
Enjoy your visit at the park and remember to re-hide the cache like or better than you found it and practice, "Leave No Trace." While visiting any Georgia State Park, please obey all park rules and remain on the marked trails as you make your way to find the geocaches!
