Geocache Description:

High Rock is one of ten caches hidden for Cache Across Maryland 2005 by the Maryland Geocaching Society and won the annual award for Most Challenging CAM Hide!


I've done a lot of great caches, but one of my favorites was hidden near the parking area for this cache. So, when I was asked to hide one of the caches for the 2005 Cache Across Maryland, I thought of this now-archived cache site.

You can park at N 39°41.678 / W 077°31.407. Be sure to stop and take a long look at the area where hanglinders used to step off of the rock face until security for the nearby Camp David restricted things. I agree with the hider for the original cache: this is probably the closest we'll ever get to flying without using an airplane!

The cache itself is in a clear Rubbermaid container just off the Appalachian Trail nearby and, although the trail is somewhat rocky, no rock climbing is necessary to retreive the cache. Enjoy the hunt!

FTF honors go to Calvertcachers!!! Congratulations friends!!!
