Geocache Description:

Located in a similar setting (scenic spot) 4.5 km NNW from the original "Settler's Helper Cache". If you visited that cache before August 2002, your photos are ready for pickup. 9/27/03 - Raised Terrain Rating due to trees downed by Isabel and debris.

This is a Relocated Cache - the contents of this cache came from the old Settler’s Helper Cache. There is a new container, a similar “no trail” location, and perhaps a little bit harder to find cache spot.

Nearby “Legal” Parking for this cache is available at: N37 15.479 W76 44.137

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN UNAUTHORIZED AREAS - I think that is what started the chain of events that led to removal of the original cache.

There are several entrances to these Woods - - - two that are fairly close to the cache are:
Ent # 1 N37 15.740 W76 43.745
Ent # 2 N37 15.543 W76 44.043

Re-starting the goodies here with most of the contents that ended up in the old Settler’s Helper Cache and added three Jamestown Quarters. Included are copies of the photos from the first camera used at the old cache and another partially used camera. Please take a photo if you find it and let me know if you take the last shot. So the next cachers can have the same sort of fun search, please replace the container as you found it.

ORIGINAL ITEMS STILL IN CACHE CONTAINER:
- Logbook with entries from 36 cachers with a couple of cool stamps and a note from one passerby who was building a tree fort near the old location.
- Disposable camera (second one) with about 14 shots remaining {the film from previous camera was developed and posted to old cache page back in August of 2002}.
- Insect repellant – - - and you will need to use this or some of your own unless you visit during winter.
- Scissors
- Natural pencil and BIC Intensity pen
