Geocache Description:

This cache is located on the newest section of the American Tobacco Trail.


As New Zealanders we are constantly bemused by the use of the term Kiwi by Americans. The people of New Zealand are Kiwis; our national symbol, the flightless bird, is a Kiwi; this cache is not a Kiwi!

The nearest parking is available off White Oak Church Road at N35° 47.171 W078° 55.386 (where restrooms are available) which is 0.8 miles from the cache. Alternative parking is available at the parking lot off Wimberley Road at N 35° 45.677 W 078° 55.265 which is 1.1 miles from the cache location. In either case, it is a pleasant walk, or biking is an option.

To retrieve the log, hold the outside of the container and slide it upwards. A silver bison tube will appear. Unscrew the base of the bison tube to reveal the log. Please do not remove the container. A writing implement will be needed as the cache is too small to hold one.

Lesson over... now get out there cache hunting!
