A small cache located along the Talimena Drive.
Castle Rock area displays a unique Ouachita Mountain feature, the
'dwarf forest'. The Ouachita Mountains run generally east-west, and
often receives abundant moisture laden air from the Gulf of Mexico.
In warm weather, this is not a problem, but when temperatures are
at or below freezing, the Gulf moisture collects on the trees and
freezes, causing ice buildup on branches and twigs. This is
repeated often during cold months, resulting in the branches and
twigs breaking off from the weight of the ice. The end result are
trees that might only be 10-15 feet tall, but could in fact be well
over a hundred years old.
This cache was placed in a scenic turnout that has outstanding
examples of dwarf trees. Being a small cache, a pen is needed, and
only small trade items are possible.
