Geocache Description:

A rough-and-tumble hike through some beautiful forestland and water features is required to reach this cache.

As the name implies, this is a themed cache--books and Travel Bugs only should be traded. The cache comes stocked with a variety of neat (and high-quality) books, as well as two TBs.

The best parking for this cache can be found at:
N 35°04.426’
W 82°35.826’

From there a beautiful and scenic trail can be followed toward the cache. The major ascent begins when you are treated to a beautiful view of a truly massive sliding-rock type waterfall. From there, the climb is tough and treacherous. For safety reasons, DO NOT attempt to climb the rock; people have died attempting to do this. Instead, make your way upwards through the wooded areas on either side of the falls.

The container is an ammo can. It contains the aforementioned items, as well as a logbook. To the first cacher to attempt this one: please bring and leave a pen or pencil. Be certain to replace the lid securely and re-hide the cache well, as water could severely damage most of the contents.

Notes:
-Do not attempt this cache at night
-Do not attempt this cache while the ground is very wet, or while creek levels are very high; use your judgement.
-Waterproof boots are advisable during wet seasons.
-People less comfortable with steep climbs or unfamiliar with the local terrain are advised to use safety equipment (ropes, harnesses, etc.), although these may not be necessary for more experienced persons.
-Finding this cache is very physically demanding; therefore, it is inappropriate for children, the elderly, or anyone not fit enough to be climbing mountains. Again, use your judgment.
-Above all else, be safe.
