Geocache Description:


I always wanted to do the multicache previously located here, but quite frankly I couldn't even find Stage 1.  When I saw it had been archived, I decided to put out a series to replace it.  Upon hitting GZ, the "series" turned out to be "put out two, go home and take a nap, then maybe put out the rest later."  The following description has been largely lifted from the original: 

These first two caches in the series (1 and 2) have a Terrain rating of 4 - Experienced outdoor enthusiasts only. There's some very steep elevation that WILL require the use of hands - and a Difficulty rating of 3. - Challenging. An experienced cache hunter will find this challenging, and it could take up a good portion of an afternoon. It's a pretty arduous couple of climbs, no matter the season.

While on public property with marked public trails, it is still a challenge that many, even life-long Bessemer residents, WILL NOT DO. *There are "best way" suggestions along the way and many have gone these suggested routes safely. Blazing a different trail could be very dangerous, even deadly. * Keep in mind when climbing: Where you climb up, you must also climb down. * Allow at least about 2 hours to complete, if you're going for both caches.  At any point, its never too late to turn back. Please DO NOT put yourself in danger or over-extend yourself over a couple of pill bottles.  

Keep the season in mind . . . you'll definitely want to make sure you're hydrated if attempting during the summer months. 

Despite the above precautions, this should prove to be a fun adventure for those who are able to take it on--I definitely had fun placing them!
