Hidden near the shelter at East River Mountain Overlook in Bluefield, West Virginia, this container is secured with a seven-letter word lock. The outer container is camouflaged to blend with its surroundings, but the challenge lies in solving the puzzle hidden inside. Solve the riddle not with numbers, but with lines woven from the land itself.
There’s a rhythm to the hills, a pattern in the path…
Let the mountains guide your hands as well as your heart.
Climbing through hollers where the wild rhododendrons grow,
Along the old path where the Ridge Runner used to blow.
Crickets sing softly from brush, rock, and bridge,
Home is a feeling that settles like mist on the ridge.
In every backroad bend, a story waits to be told,
Nature wraps the mountains in hues of green and gold.
Geocachers smile wide—treasure found, and tales unfold.
A special wooden FTF token awaits the first geocacher clever enough to unlock the secret. Theres only room inside for a log and a small token, so bring a pen to sign the log to claim your find. Once solved, please reassemble as found and scramble the solution so the next adventurer can enjoy the puzzle.
