Geocache Description:

Located near the Zoo-camp Russell

Located inside Oglebay Park, this cache takes you through some mature forest. A good starting point would be Camp Russell near the zoo.Park at the end of the lot and go down the powerline along the chainlink fence to get a good start.

A slippery walk/slide to the bottom of a small ravine.The trails to this one haven't been well maintained as there are a couple of trees down and a few slides from past rains.It will take a bit of a hike to get there, but not a long one. Be prepaired to tackle some steep and slippery slopes.

PLEASE TRY TO FOLLOW THE ESTABLISHED TRAILS as they discourage off trail hiking here. Don't follow the arrow the last 250'or so please follow the trail down to the ravine

Cache is now a 30.cal ammo can its new contents when adopted on 6-29-05 - Log book,pen,laser pointer,nascar keychain,watch,sim coster game,floating keychain,some WV camping $$ and a new white jeep.

This was the first regular cache my son and I did on 2-21-04,and the only regular cache in the Wheeling area at the time ! ! So I am happy to adopt this cache

Thanks to BRWGL1800 who orignialy set this great cache up.
