Geocache Description:


Note: Please don't attempt this one after or during a heavy rain. Please use your best judgement when arriving at the waypoint. This cache was placed with permission.

This cache is part of the Harrisonburg Tunnel Series, listed below easiest to hardest:

  1. To The End Of The Line!
  2. The Vault
  3. The Prison
  4. Don't Fear The Dark
  5. Fear The Dark
  6. The Way to Haunted Chasm
  7. Shelob's Lair
  8. The Last (Underground) Crusade

Team JoKiN' Around actually placed a traditional cache? How odd! This one is dedicated to all the cachers out there who like to find traditionals.

For this one you'll have to begin your journey at the waypoint listed below. Walking straight to the posted coordinates will yield nothing.

From the waypoint continue "upstream" in the direction of the cache for an estimated 40-60 feet. Cache is a bison hanging on the right hand side.

This is by far the "dirtiest" in the tunnel series. You WILL get up close and personal with arachnids, you'll likely get wet, and (if you are a bit crazy) you might have some fun!

I listed this as a 5-star terrain because you may decide after arriving that you'd prefer to use special equipment to aid in your find. These could include:

  • Gloves
  • A flashlight
  • A friend to hold the flashlight while you sign
  • A 'creeper' to scoot along with
  • Spider repellent(?) 😂
