#1 Tuscazoar - Heading Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Rocky Ridge Runner: I have decided to archive this cache since it has been in existence for about 15 months. It has been an adventure for many geocachers since it's beginning.
This was the first cache at Camp Tuscazoar and was meant to provide a brief hike through the camp and into the Netawatwes valley, under or over the upper RR bed and to the lower RR bed to find the Indian Head carving in the rock face that was inscribed since 1929. In keeping with the traditions with Camp Tuscazoar regarding ecology, conservation, and safety we will preserve the landscape in this area to be appreciated by hikers when the Fink Truss bridge is back in place and the corridor passes through this part of camp. Hiking at Camp Tuscazoar and even finding the Rex Farrall carving is still welcomed by all. Congratulations to all geocachers who have found this cache and submitted your adventure in the logs. These logs will become a permanent part of the camp's history and be stored in the Museum archives.

Keep The Spirit Burning
Best Regards,
Rocky Ridge Runner
