Cache is not Located At Posted Coordinates Use Clues Below to Solve the Final
One Day Fishing we caught our limit of Catfish in less than two hours. They were so big most of them wouldn't fit in our cooler. we decided to hide a realy difficult cache to commemorate our fun day. Within minutes I spotted a real challenging Tree. The D/T rating should give you an Idea how we hid It. Cache is not hidden under the pear tree.
Everything Above is False, the only Challenge is to Log a big lie to go along with the theme. Good Luck
Lake Monticello
Offers picnic shelters, fishing, boat ramp and other water recreational activities. The Fairfield Recreation Commission operates a park at the lake. For information on the park area, contact the commission at (803) 635-9114. The smaller Monticello Recreation Lake is located north of the large body of water and is about 300 acres in size. This park area offers fishing two days a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays), swimming (no lifeguard on duty) and picnic facilities. Park gates open from sunrise to sunset. The V.C. Summer Nuclear Station Nature Trail is located at the boundary of the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station exclusion area on the lake. Benches, wood duck boxes, blue bird boxes and plant identification markers dot this 1.5 mile trail.
Lake Monticello is located in Fairfield County off of HWY 215 in Jenkinsville, SC, adjacent to the Broad River about 35 minutes from Downtown Columbia. It was completed in 1978 as a pumped storage facility run by SCE&G (South Carolina Electric and Gas) and provides cooling water for a single unit nuclear reactor. It complements the existing Parr Reservoir which was built in the early 1900’s and together these are the two main components of the pumped storage Fairfield Hydro Station and the V.C. Sumner Nuclear Station. An adjacent 300-acre "Recreational Lake" was later built as a public recreational area.
The non-traditional hydroelectric station at Lake Monticello uses the adjacent nuclear power facility to pump water into the reservoir, and then releases it through the turbines to produce power. During this process the water levels rise and fall, sometimes causing 5-foot fluctuations in the water level of Lake Monticello. Boaters must take extreme caution and be alert of any hazards that may arise during this time. In comparison to Lake Wateree and Lake Murray, Lake Monticello has some heavy restrictions on fishing and boating and allows no water-skiing or jet skis. Additionally, SCE&G owns a strip around the entire lake so that they can maintain the natural beauty and prohibit excavation projects.
The SC DNR manages the lake for recreational fishing and maintains 1 fish attractor site. Popular sport fish on Lake Monticello include catfish species such as blues, channels, & whites and yellow and flat bullhead catfish species. Other popular game fish include largemouth bass, black & white crappies, white bass, and bream species such as bluegill, redear, & redbreast. Historically, the SC DNR has monitored these species with such activities as largemouth bass spring electrofishing, littoral rotenone sampling for LMB & Lepomis spp., trap net sampling for crappies, cove rotenone sampling, a fisherman’s creel survey, and meter net sampling for threadfin/gizzard shad.
Look For the Pear Tree and find The Cache Bellow
***Please remember to have respect for the cache... use stealth, replace as found, make sure you take the time to put the log back properly.***
