Geocache Description:

A surreal journey into a land of ancient spirits.

This little known trail has been my destination of choice for many a meditative retreat.

The coordinates are not that of the actual cache, but rather those of the mightiest giant in all the wood.

If you ask this wise old spirit where to find the cache, *his* right arm (facing him from the trail) will point you in the proper direction. The cache lies hidden at the foot of his fallen comrade a short distance away.

Facing the giant with the trail to your back, look to the left and up the hill about 190 feet. There you will find the fallen giant - and the keeper of the cache.

The gate/parking coords are N34 44.823 W84 2.194
Additional info on getting to the trail may be found at http://www.georgiahikes.com/main.asp?url=/trails/trail_disp.asp?id=94

For you Blair Witch fans, there is a campsite and circle of standing stones to be found near the end of the trail at N34-45.113 W084-03.058.
