Geocache Description:

Best place to start looking for this cache is to park on the side of Barton Mines Road and cross the street (i.e. you do not go over the stream for this cache.). Then go up the sharp incline. The cache is in a Dark Green Ammo Can.

This Cache is dedicated to the yearly White Water Derby Weekends. Many of us have been coming up here for this canoe/major party event for over 20 years which is held the first full weekend in May. One of my favorite past times has been looking for the beautiful clear ruby red garnets found up here. I've included a bunch of these in this cache so take 2 or 3 of them and go looking in the area streams. I have found many small gem quality garnets around in the area. The stream next to the road has several places where you can find small gem quality garnets. Email me for info about finding the garnets, or stop by the gem/mineral shop down the road on Rt28 to learn more about the garnets found here. I put into this cache a kids explorer kit, kids pda, magnifying lens, colorful ball, marbles, a 2003 White Water Derby Pin and the Boonie Man's Wishing Well TB.
