This cache was originally placed for the 2021 Cache Across Maryland (CAM) picnic. The cache is a medium length hike from the Old Frederick Rd trailhead or the Pickall Area pavilions, and a longer hike from Drexel Woods Drive. It may be possible to bushwhack to this cache from the Pickall Area entrance road, but I have not tried this approach. The cache is located around 150' north of the nearest trail in relatively flat terrain.
