Geocache Description:

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences."
~ Christopher McCandless / Alexander Supertramp


"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.

Our friends the Conklin_Cachers have been really busy lately.  I am attempting to lure them out of hiding and explore the great outdoors.  This cache was inspired by several of the Conklin's hides.  wink

There are several no parking signs posted along Lake Norwood dam.  I recommend parking at the provided waypoint and walking across the dam.  Once you reach the other side of the dam, walk down the spill way towards GZ.  DO NOT ATTEMPT IF THE AREA IS FLOODED.  At GZ there are several layers of a waterfall that is typically dry.  Be careful climbing the rocks as some may be slippery. You are looking for a Preform tube attached to host with wire, it only has enough room for a log so bring your own pen.

Photos are encouraged, however spoilers will be deleted.

≈ Good Luck!
