Geocache Description:

This cache is being placed in support of the Lynchburg National Trails Day event cache.

I placed this cache in the rain and I averaged the coordinates 30 times so I hope that the accuracy is ok.

I've been looking at these rocks since I moved to Lynchburg in 1999. After I started geocaching, I figured why not put one out there. There is a fence around the area but I didn't see any "No Tresspassing" signs anywhere around there. You can get to the cache location via the 501 bypass side or Wiggington road. One is easy; one is a little harder. Neither is all too difficult.

***WARNING*** poison ivy/oak/sumac is in the area - pants are recommended and shorts are discouraged I've been there twice without getting in it but other cachers have mentioned it so I put it here as a warning. Snakes could be in this area as well. So be CAREFUL!!

Parking Lat: 37° 24.898' Long: 79° 13.790'
