About this cache: To start off your journey right, enjoy this roadside geocache. This corner of the park seems remote and away from the action. This has a certain tranquility that one can imagine before the age of the motorized car. From here, your journey will take you to a lesser explored part of the historic site. Watch out for poison ivy at gz.
