Geocache Description:

Ominous: Giving the impression that something is threatening


"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.

After finding the nearby "Chimneyville" cache, I took a little time to scout out this valley. As I walked down the hill I spotted what appeared to be a huge cave but ran out of daylight to fully explore. I returned the next day with ample time and hid a cache. The sheltercave has dark rocks in the back which make it appear a lot deeper. After a rain there may be a waterfall.

You are looking for a small container, BYOP.

GPS Signal can be sketchy in the valley with tree cover so I provided a helpful photo and hint. Search the side of the cliff to the right of photo below. The cache is hidden in the rocks along the game trail on side of cliff. Recommend wearing bright colors during hunting season.
