Geocache Description:

Although there are several access points to this cache, I would suggest parking at N44-11.760 x W075-36.136. The hike to the cache is about 3/4 of a mile along a paved/gravel trail with no grade. This particular cache may not be suitable for all ages, however my 6 y/o son was able to tag along with me with minimal assistance the entire way.

This cache is in a standard green ammo can and is FULL of goodies for 'the survivalist' in all of us. Included in the log book packet is a camera. Please take a picture of yourself and/or your party and return the camera to the pack.

ALL of the original contents were stored in their own zip-lock bag.

Take a picnic lunch and enjoy your day by the falls of the Indian River. And don't be surprised if you see some local folks sunning on the rocks in the middle of the stream. Watch out above too, you may also see some low flying helicopters!

Good luck, and be sure to watch your step on the rocks!

UPDATE: Friday, 18 April 2003. The original cache had been washed away by the raging Black River. The cache has been replaced in the same location but at a little higher altitude. If the river can rise enough to get it again, Antwerp, Philly, and all other cities down stream are in BIG trouble. Please re-secure the cache as you find it to protect it from the elements! BTW, in this container, I also put in a photo album of the pictures that were taken by cache visiters last year. There are some great self portraits in there! The new log book packet contains another camera, so please take a photo of yourself/group.

SPECIAL THANKS goes to jcs for helping me get this cache back up and running so quickly!!! I couldn't have done it without you Jimmy!
