Geocache Description:


Knucklebones, also known as TaliFivestones, or Jacks, is a game of ancient origin, usually played with five small objects, or ten in the case of jacks. Originally the "knucklebones" (actually the astragalus, a bone in the ankle) were those of a sheep, which were thrown up and caught in various manners. Modern knucklebones consist of six points, or knobs, projecting from a common base, and are usually made of metal or plastic. The winner is the first player to successfully complete a prescribed series of throws, which, though similar, differ widely in detail.

 

This hiking trail can only be accessed via hikers because of the rooting done by the hogs. The trail is narrow, tree lined and shady and clearly marked to make it a nice hike, but be careful of all the holes on the road. It is not impossible to push a bike through here, but it would take a lot of work and effort. Plus while you can push it through, it is kind of frowned upon by the rangers to take it in there because they don’t want you riding it. If you get caught riding it in the hiking trails you can be asked to leave the park. So just be aware of the rules.

Please make sure to take adequate amounts of water and bug spray depending on the time of year.

Please take a few seconds to close the container properly. What takes you a few seconds to do, saves us from spending hours and replacing swag, logs and containers. Also please re-hide as well as you found it or better so it doesn't get muggled. Thanks!
