erik88l-r: As one of the contributors to this cache (the compass if I remember correctly) it pains me to archive it. Hopefully it can be replaced, at which time I'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:


Located at about 3600 feet above sea level, this cache is at the end of one of the more rewarding hikes in Montreat. Parking is located near N35¡38.574 / W082¡ 17.467. Then follow the yellow markers up Lookout Trail. The terrain is somewhat steep in areas, but overall not too bad. The cache itself is a bit off trail, so please be careful when going for it. I tried to hide it as best I could being that it was such a large container. The cache itself is a large ammo box. The Cords should be accurate. I took three readings with a Garmin Etrex Legend at 13ft accuracy each time. All readings came up with a 0.001' difference.

A note to those who donated the travel bugs, please log them, since you found them, and technically you all placed them in this cache. A note to all who donated items, thanks. We now have 30 days before we can hunt this one. Happy hunting to all. I will be checking on this one regularly to see that it is still there and see if I can maybe hide it better.
