Your journey begins trying to find the bridge that will guide you
to your destination. If you Red the cache page, and look at road
signs and GPS readings, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
(*See note below)
After that, follow the signs to your parking place.
Unfortunately the dense tree cover and mountainous terrain WILL
play extreme havoc on your signals so I will be kind and give you
clear hints on your cache location.
Your primary cache is this wonderful gift that's been preserved
for you and all of it's natural contents. The geocache container is
only a small trinket of minimal consideration today. But, in all
fairness, I will "walk you in" to the tupperware too. The GPS
Coordinates provided to you are for the cache container. You're
probably going to be at least 50 feet or so off. On the way to that
- do yourself a favor and make a little side trip to this
location.
The Location's Number 1 Natural Cache is located at:
N 37° 11.389' W 080° 19.193'
What you are seeing today is literally over thousands of years
old and is one of the largest known EXPOSED travertine deposits.
(HUH??? What IS she talking about???) Guess you're just going to
have to go see what it is. ;-)
Now continue on to the listed cache coordinates. As you get
closer to the cache, you will see a large cavernous formation to
your right. The first small trail is now "CLOSED" but you will see
another small trail that will lead you towards it. When you get
close to it you will see a place that once stored the explosives
used to blast loose calcium carbonate cliff's deposits which were
crushed and carted by mule to the top of the kiln just opposite of
where you are standing. The trucks would come and were measured on
scales and you can still see where this lime burning operation took
place in the late 30s-40s.
Back to your cache... which is located, ohhhhhhh, maybe 80 or so
feet left from the place T.V. Show "Good Times" Jay-Jay's favorite
saying was. (That's a real rough guestimate on distance.) Plus...
THINK about what Auguste Rodin was famous for. Need more help.
Decode the hint.
The container is a 5 x 7 rubbermaid.
Enjoy - take a hike and look around. See what you can see. This
land is very special for it's geological and rare plant species
also. Take some photos for Uncle Bill! As a VT Extension and
Government Agricultural Photographer and Horticulturalist, he'd
have appreciated your enjoyment of the beauty that surrounds you in
the wildlife, fauna and flora. Have fun! This is what it's all
about! Uncle Bill knew that and wanted to make sure that others
would be able to find out also, so he gave this gift to YOU!

* 6/15/05 Okay Folks - Due to the confusion...To reach parking
area ...don't go straight or UP-Up-Up!!! GO left immediately after
you cross the tracks. Road follows tracks, then bears right,
crosses stream and then bears left to park. Got it??? Not UP!!!
