Welcome to State Game Lands 224. This sections is a relatively recent additon to the SGL, sometime around 2015 I believe. It is not shown on many maps still. A major reason the state acquired this land from private mine ownership is for bat habitat protection. A major entrance, and smaller ones, into the old Glen Lyon mine is located on this property. It has become a bat hibernaculum and is now heavily fenced off. Check the cache waypoints for the location!
Another feature of this property is a cliff / ridgeline known as Squirrel Rock which is a popular area for bouldering and rock climbing. You will see chalk marks indicating the many climbing routes. The cache is located at the far side of this climbing area. I planned to hide it deeper into the woods but a major thunderstorm was rolling in. I hope it lasts in this location.
Rules of the cache:
- You must physically sign the log book or your Found It log will be deleted.
- Stay off of provate property.
- Do not interfere with anything at the bat hibernaclulum.
- Re-hide the container as it was found & so muggles cannot easiy spot it.
Other comments:
- Container is an ammo can stocked with pens, please take one!
- Bring a grocery or trash bad to help cleanup. The climbing ares is kept nice but other parts of the property, not so much.
- There is a well trodden path to GZ but I am not giving that info up :)
