Geocache Description:


Note: Please don't attempt this one after or during a heavy rain. Flashlight or phone light is advised. Please use your best judgement when arriving at the waypoint.

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

Who says there are only small spaces underground? Journey into the largest tunnel room I've yet to find and enjoy "The Vault".

Important Directions:
 

  • Parking available at the Westover Park waypoint.
     
  • Optional: Put on waterproof boots or old shoes.
     
  • Walk to the posted coordinates. I recommend staying along the road to the West of the stream until very close to the coordinates.
     
  • Enter either tunnel ahead of you (left route had less water when I placed the cache).
     
  • At the end of the first tunnel, you have reached "The Vault". Proceed to the the far corner of the room. The cache is attached to the 2nd rung of the ladder on top of the small staircase.
     
  • After signing optionally proceed to the next cache in this tunnel system, named "The Prison". (See seperate Mystery Cache for details)
