Parking Coordinates off Holloway Rd: N34° 2.095' W85° 0.698'
White River Cave is located in Polk county, northeast of Rockmart, GA. The coordinates above will get you to the cave entrance. You will have to follow the directions I give below to find the clues. This is NOT a Kiddie Cache. I would leave the kids and pets at home. I would recommend that this cache be done with at least TWO people. Anytime you go into a cave, you should take every safety precaution. If you decide to do the cache alone, please let someone know where you are going and when you expect to be back. PLEASE review the equipment list below. The proper equipment is a MUST.
The cave is badly vandalized (Lots of grafitti, beer cans, broken bottles, etc.). But it’s still interesting to explore. It looks like local high school kids may go in there to party. I even saw where a couple fires had been. Keep your eyes open for bats. While I was placing the cache I saw a bat flying around and a couple bats clinging to the cave wall. Once you have found the cache, take a little time to explore further into the cave, I think you’ll find it interesting. You will be far enough into the cave that you can no longer see the cave entrance. Find a place to sit, turn your light off, and experience TOTAL DARKNESS. It’s pretty spooky. How long can you go without turning your light on?
-----------------------------------------------------------
The directions below will lead you to TWO different NUMBERS that will be used to compute the final cache coordinates.
Directions to CLUE STARTING POINT:
Proceed into cave and continue until you come to a fork. I’m not good at judging distances, but I’m going to say it’s about 40 to 50 yds into the cave. At the fork, you can either go right & down or turn left & duck. (This is your STARTING POINT for BOTH CLUES)
Directions to CLUE #1:
1. Take the LEFT tunnel at the fork.
2. After you’re able to stand upright again, continue on for about 13-15 paces.
3. At this point you should have come to a ledge that overlooks the right tunnel path.
4. To your right is a large hole in the wall, to your left you should see the letters A.B in fluorescent red.
5. ABOVE the letters A.B you should see a large TWO DIGIT number painted in fading white. REMEMBER this number it is CLUE #1.
Directions to CLUE #2:
1. Go back to the CLUE STARTING POINT.
2. Take the RIGHT tunnel at the fork.
3. Continue on for ~24-26 paces.
4. Look for a pointed ledge above and to your left. The words, 'Insert this', are painted on it in black.
5. The arrow points toward a FOUR DIGIT number directly above the name Micah Williams (fluorescent red). REMEMBER this number it is CLUE #2.
CACHE COORDINATES (Outside of cave) = N34° 02.ABC W85° 00.DEF
A = Second Digit of CLUE #2
B = Sum of ALL CLUE #2 digits
C = First Digit of CLUE #2 multiply by 2
D = Smallest digit of CLUE #1
E = Difference of CLUE #1 digits multiply by 2
F = Largest digit of CLUE #1
EQUIPMENT LIST:
1. 3 sources of light (Headlamp and 2 flashlights)
2. Extra set of batteries for flashlight (It’s better to be safe than sorry, it’s pitch black in the cave)
3. Boots, not tennis shoes, high-top boots.
4. Gloves (the cave is wet & muddy, you will need both hands to balance yourself at times)
5. Helmet of some type; Bicycle helmet or hard hat (You want to protect your head from falling debris and bumping it on low rocks)
5. A change of clothes, shirt & pants (You’re probably going to get a little dirty. ;) )
6. Optional, but recommended: Hiking Stick
