Geocache Description:

#1 in a series of full-size harder to reach Deer Creek caches named after some fantastic British sci-fi novels.


Revelation Space is Alistair Reynold's first major sci-fi novel. Based 500 years from now in a time when it takes about 60 years to travel between solar systems but faster than light travel is still not possible. A fantastic tale of a civilization under threat from an enemy that has been sleeping and waiting for millions of years.

I don't think there is an easy way to get to this cache, or not one that I took anyway. Hence the 4 difficulty rating. This is a full size plastic ammo can hidden in a large rock. I got to this location by walking up from the small parking area to the clearing about 10 minutes up the trail. The clearing is under the trees and has a small campfire in the middle. From there I headed off the trail straight up the very steep hill. There may be an easier way, but this route is somewhat of a scramble. it took us about 40 minutes or so to get to GZ from the car.

GPS bounced around quite a bit but I tried to average out a couple of readings.
