Where? Traditional Cache

OzGuff: All OK here, but I am closing down caches that are getting a little too far to maintain. Thanks to all who visited!

I enjoyed reading the logbook entries!

Geocache Description:


A nice hike through a forest not far from Cashiers


You will be walking through a 70 acre parcel of land through a number of different types of flora. Mainly old and long-unused logging roads with a little trail walking too. There are some decent views but it is mainly about being beneath the canopy and checking out the local vegetation.

The hike is about 0.7 miles round-trip and is pretty easy. (Check the Old Pitchfork page for total distance if you try that cache first.) Parking coordinates are N 35 06.100 W 083 05.662 -- here you will find the gate pictured; you get here off of Cashiers School Road not far from the Methodist Church. This is private property -- please place a note on the dashboard saying that you are geocaching with permission of the owners. The "No Trespassing" signs at the front gate may make you think twice but geocachers DO have permission to be on the property. A cross-country route for horses has been established so keep an eye -- and ear -- out for them. (And their droppings.)

Major bushwhacking will not be needed -- remain on the main trail until close to your objective. You are looking for an ammo can. Replace it as you found it.

I recommend that you do the Old Pitchfork cache first and leave this cache for the return walk. Trade Up, Trade Even, or Don't Trade. I hope you enjoy your stroll through the forest!
