Goat Hill, on the east end of St. Croix, has a 360 degree view of the island and is a perfect spot for a cache. It does require some effort, as the rutted road up the hill is a challenge, especially during the summer and fall when the temperature and humidity are higher. Be sure to take plenty of water with you for the hike, use sunscreen and wear sturdy shoes.
On the way up you will pass the easternmost point of the Very Long Baseline Array of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. According to their website, (see http://www.vlba.nrao.edu/sites/stcroix.shtml) the westernmost point of the VLBA is on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, nearly 5,000 miles away. As you pass the telescope going up and coming down, you often see it moving to change it's viewpoint in space.
Once on top, there are spectacular views, including Buck Island, westward to Christiansted and eastward toward Point Udall. Below you are Jack's Bay and Isaac's Bay, part of St. Croix's East End Marine Park. On a clear day you can see St. Thomas, St. John and the British Virgin Islands in the distance to the north.
With such fantastic views, you may forget why you came up Goat Hill, but there is a cache. You are looking for a plastic container with ample room for TBs and other items. Watch your footing as you near GZ!
After your hike, you may want a swim to cool off. Nearby is Cramer's Park, where you can find swimming, covered picnic areas and grills for cooking.
