The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The Less Traveled By caches
This series consists of:
Appetiser
Fallen Giant
Waterfall
Getting there
Follow the directions to the Less traveled by - Appetiser cache, and continue along the stream-side trail. You'll criss-cross the water several times on the way to this cache.
Caution
Please walk gently and take care of the flora and fauna as, although the path is accessible it's an informal trail maintained by those rejuvenating the stream and valley. Take care after heavy rain as the track crosses the stream on several occasions. In summer it's possible to walk the length of the valley in dry shoes.
At time of publication this valley is the focus of Brodifacoum poison pest control so please keep children and dogs away from bait, and don't interfere with any bait stations or pest control equipment. Thanks.
If you have time you may want to continue on to the highlight of this walk, the Less traveled by - Waterfall cache.
