Geocache Description:

Named after one of our fantastic grandkids "Tyler". Take US 421 towards Shady Valley. Near the top of the mountain look for the Appalachian Trail sign. Go past the sign and park on the left side of the road. Follow the trail for about .34 miles. It mostly uphill but gets flat after a short while.

This cache will be found just (about 40 feet) off of the beautiful Appalachian Trail. You will be on top of a ridge that has very large oak, hickory and beech trees. Take some time to "drink in" the feeling of our glorious mountains. We have hiked here several times and found very little trash. If you do find some, please use CITO. The cache is a camo ammo box. We have put a lot of outdoor goodies: poncho, blanket, compass, pedometer and some fun kids stuff into the cache. Look for the magic Indian-head pennies. We have also put the TB Milo Thatch in it. Good luck and enjoy nature!

I am fairly good at tree identification but I cannot tell what species of tree that is growing up from the cache. Bonus pats on the back if you can. Please share. Thanks

There are 6 other caches within 1.9 miles. They are: GCK04B (Maggie's Meadow Walk), GCKCJ0 (Jumping The Low Gap Spring), GCKJB9 (Bogging Down In The Orchard), GCKG7T (The Old Schoolyard Springs),GCNR2R (Cave Run) and GCT347 (All Shot Up). Go for them all.
