This is an area called Wildcat Creek. It is part of the Clemson Experimental Forest and home to the birthplace of my first travel bug, The Wildcat. The Wildcat is named after the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the 81st Regional Readiness Command, of which I was a member, in the U.S. Army Reserve. I stumbled upon this area in search of another cache and knew that the area had to be the "birthplace" of The Wildcat travel bug. There are picnic tables and a covered area in case of rain. Bring a lunch or just enjoy nature. Happy Hunting!!!

There is room for very small items only. The original contents of the Wildcat Creek cache were:
- a ten-sided die
- a pearl marble
- a silver coin given out as "treasure" at a Nero live-action roleplaying event
- a travel bug known as The Wildcat
- logbook (bring a pen to sign)

Congratulations to llamasnot for the FTF!!!
