Bring a good old fashioned GPSr with you, or download the caches before you leave home as many of our beautiful State Parks/ Historic sites have limited or no cell service!!!
This cache contains a unique stamp which must stay with the cache. Use this stamp to mark your passport. This stamp is NOT a trade item.
There is actually cell service right around this cache, but still, download the caches in advance. This is a plastic ammo can in the hollow base of a twin trunked tree, on a steep incline, on the right side of the trail as you go up from the last cache. It is uphill from the trail marker. The trail is wet in spots, and you may have to cross a stream or two to get here. We don't recommend going for this one in the rain. The hike from parking is close to .70 miles one way with a lot of elevation change along the way.
We have marked a trail turn waypoint between caches PF3 and PF4, which is more helpful on the way down again, so you don't miss the turn.
