Geocache Description:


IN ORDER TO LOG THIS CACHE YOU MUST POST A SELFIE WITH THE DANGER CLIFF SIGN IN THE SHOT!  DO NOT GO PAST THE FENCE IT IS VERY SLIPPERY AND DANGEROUS!! Muggles have created a trail around the fence, trying to get a better view of the falls, it doesn't lead anywhere and you can fall over the edge. THERE IS NO CELL PHONE RECEPTION!  PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN VISITING THE GZ  We place this cache in the memory of Jay Nelson, who lost his life in 2010 while camping with friends near this spot, on the ledge on the far side of the falls. There are conflicting stories about the actual events of that fatefull night. Jay and his friends would camp and socialize here over the years and many good memories are still held by all who love him.  Jay's friends and extended family would like to remind everyone who enjoys the park, and the falls in particular, to be safe, carefull and respectfull of this beautiful spot. The County re-opened this park after many hours of improvements and installing safety precautions, please, in the name and memory of Jay Nelson, be careful and enjoy this area responsibly and safely. IN ORDER TO LOG THIS VIRTUAL CACHE PLEASE TAKE A SELFIE WITH THE FENCE and DANGER/CLIFF SIGNS in the background and POST THE PHOTO.
