Geocache Description:

Congratulations to Fugads for FTF, as it should be. :) A great hike through a total of 3 old railroad tunnels and a significant river crossing. Note: This cache will not require you to walk across any active railroad bridges or enter any active railroad tunnels. We do not wish for anyone to have a "Stand By Me" moment. Also use caution after heavy rainfall crossing the river.

This cache is placed in honor of another Geocacher that means a great deal to Kaput360 & me. Fugads is moving off but we wanted him to know there will be a void in our Geocommunity & could think of no better way to say it than by publishing a cache. Call it paranoia, but Kaput360 & I have been convinced that he was trying to kill us on several occasions. His caches can be quite challenging for us mere mortals when it appears that he himself can walk on water as he proved to us during multiple stream crossings while hiking in Fontana. We once went on a 17.5 mile hike along the Obed River in order to grab some FTF’s for his caches. We survived but just barely as we found ourselves drinking out of streams & praying for air rescue. Kaput360 even coined a new term for our find, “Only to Find”. All jokes aside, his caches have always been memorable for us, his blog enjoyable, his logs witty, & he will be missed. In the cache we have left some survival swag, toys, & dog toys because anyone who knows Fugads, knows that his kids & his trusty dog Sasha are really important to him.

Do not think your cell phone will get you there. Please read ALL cautionary notes from GC5J85K The Ghost Bridge and as usual, do not believe everything you read on the internet because Google shows a road, a Clifton Hines Road....there most definitely is not a road that goes to this cache.

You will drive thru or walk through an abandoned tunnel #1 hosting GC21XAC National Treasure. You will then park, walk over active tracks and enter another abandoned tunnel #2. See warning pic above. DO NOT CROSS ACTIVE RAILROAD BRIDGE! Take a flashlight! You will walk right by our Ghost Bridge cache and cross the Emory river. After you cross, head up hill. You will enter one last tunnel #3 to find the cache on the rocks to the right as you exit.
