Geocache Description:

Located on a nice set of trails for hiking & biking off lake grapevine. Not too difficult, but requires some minor bushwacking. There are times that ground zero may be underwater depending on how full the lake is and how much rain we have gotten.

This cache was originally placed by "Patman & Samo" but was destroyed in April 2003.
jgoss1074 replaced it and I have since adopted it. The poem below is now obsolete because someone has taken away the post that is mentioned in the poem, so use the hint for directions on how to get to the final location of the cache.

 

 

Below is the rhyme written to describe the final location.

 

 

 

It is there that the booty is hidden.
In a place not walked, nor bicycle ridden.
It is there, away from the pool, but close just the same.
Away from the trails, that we'll play this small game.
The numbers you use to say when you're nearin',
won't get you there, but instead to a clearin'.
As the trail turns north, look to the south,
a wood post is there, to show hikers their route.
look on the back for a number so scribed,
with the number of paces that you must stride.
South, southeast is the direction you seek,
but don't go too far lest you fall in the creek.
In a place that is lower, fallen trees lay about
then at your feet, a big rock sticks out.
it's maybe six feet by four feet,
weighing hundreds of pounds.
In a crevice beside it's where the stash can be found.
