Congrats to Lynnard and GimletStick for being the FTF this cache!
I was brought to this part of the NC Gamelands by a recently archived cache. This area was too nice not to have a cache, so I placed this one to get folks to come out with their kids and dogs to explore the woods. There is some parking available, but the area can get busy with fishermen, hikers and other outdoor users. Additional parking can be found close-by at the other NC Gameland trailhead. I enjoy exploring an area that I have never been to since you never know what you will find. I hope you have the same fun as I did. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch and make an afternoon of it.
For cachers with small kids, it might be easier for you to hike along the open trail until you get close to the cache and then head into the woods. The bushwack was not that bad during the winter when I placed the cache, but I am not sure what the area looks like in the Spring and Summer. Please be aware of any seasonal issues while searching for this cache. The trail can also be very slippery and muddy after a hard rain.
This cache is on NC Gamelands, so please wear blaze orange or search for the cache on Sundays during hunting season.
If you have time to explore, there is an interesting abandoned structure at N35 50.212 W078 57.692. I didn't cross any orange striped trees, so I am assuming it is still on NC Gamelands.
Thank you to NCReviewer for the help in getting this cache published. Please DO NOT post any spoilers in pics or in the log or it will be deleted. Thank you for not ruining the enjoyment of the find for other cachers.
