Geocache Description:

This will be a regular sized, and quite easy roadside cache to ease the journey between Prineville and beyond. Be sure to be stealthy and re-hide well.

This cache gives you a quick break along the way with a scenic photo opportunity. This would be a great spot for bird watching, and you can get great photos come sunrise & sunset.

We can imagine coming here on a hot summer day, taking in the view through the shimmering heat waves, cycadas buzzing so loudly that you can't even think. It makes me imagine what it would be like if "the air smelled like snakes".

We put the warning above about snakes at this cache. It's totally untrue, just in keeping with the spirit of the cache!

"And sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River to the abandoned old prison down by Edrie Hill. Where the air smelled like snakes we'd shoot with our pistols, but empty pop bottles was all we would kill". - John Prine
