6/16/05 - cache ontainer replaced - slightly larger and in a more secure location. Tree cover makes satellite lock difficult - Please post your coords.
Finally another geology related cache - this one takes you to sea level, well not really. It actually takes you below sea level, down to the bottom of a paleozoic ocean, right down to the sediments of the Iapetus Sea (aka the proto-Atlantic). From there these rocks under went extensive metamorphasism as North America collided with Africa to form Pangaea (finally completed around 245MYa). These rocks are part of the Falls Lake Melange - and they represent the oceanic crust the once existed between N. America and Euro-Africa. They have a very distinct color to them which can be atributed to 2 sources - extensive chlorine in seafloor sediments and concentrations of bark minerals associated with basaltic magma (oceanic crustal material).
Side Note: visit this site and Rockhound's Virtual Cache (GCB8E) in the same day for an interesting contrast in local rock materials - it's just a couple of miles east of this site, on Rte 98.
The cache is alittle ways down the trail, separated from the main outcrops, and set among the rocks so that if others wander by, you'll just look like another mineral collector. You can easily find serpentine, hornblendite and soapstone in this area as well calcite rinds that have leeched out of the rock and filled in fractures. As far as I know (and you will also see) collecting is allowed - just don't take more than you really need to.
Have fun.
