This is a 4-stage multi with an ammo can cache. There will be
short driving distances between stages Or if you feel the need for
some exercise it is a nice walk or bike ride (2.4 miles round
trip). The terrain will go from flat to quite hilly. To showcase
the three lakes that are inside the city limits of Greenville, we
are placing one stage at each lake.
The first stage takes you to Baldwin Lake
(69 acres). This lake was the place to go for entertainment from
the late 1800's on. With carriage rides around the lake, an aerial
ride which traveled from ridge to ridge above the site of the
coordinates for stage one, and numerous pavilions that offered
dinners and dancing as well as picnics, boating, and
swimming.
Stage two will take you to
Manoka Lake (11 acres) otherwise known as Fatal Lake. This lake was
so named for the legend of an Indian maiden named Manoka who was
eloping across the lake with her lover, when her father, to stop
them, shot the man with an arrow. Manoka held him in her arms until
they both sank to their death. The body of Manoka was never
recovered and to this day it is considered
bottomless.
Lake
Como (23 acres) is the last lake on the tour. It is believed that
this lake was so named because an Italian man on the survey crew
who first surveyed this area, may have suggested "Como" for the
lake in his native country.
We hope that you enjoy this tour of our
lovely lakes. The cache is filled with fishing-type items, and if
trading, please keep this theme in mind. Thank you!
