Geocache Description:


Earlier this year I went after GCJHYG - Lake Pippin Cache since it showed up on a list of lonely caches in the area and also because it would help me fill in a square on my Jasmer. I noticed several spots along the trail to the cache that looked like good hiding spots for new caches. The trail fades in and out in a few places. This will help you stay on the right path. If you come after a rain, you may want to wear boots.  I came several days after Hurricane Sally crawled through and it was dry to here, but large swampy sections shortly thereafter.  This area certainly has room for more caches and maybe the older caches in this area won't be so lonely!

Easiest access is via the gate beside the exit ramp from the Spence Parkway. Alternate and turning point borrowed from the Lake Pippin cache page.
