Most of this multi-staged cache is located along the Long Point Trail near Summersville Airport. It's a 4 mile hike round trip from where you park at the locked gate near the turnoff to the airport, so allow yourself a couple of hours for this one. Don't be concerned about the "No Trespassing" signs. That's only for the property on the left and you will soon be past that. Sometimes the gate will be open and you can park at the old archery range. Take water for sure and a snack just for fun.
This adventure is in three stages with the 1st being a small 35mm film container with the coordinates for stage two. It is located near the coordinates posted above on this page. The 2nd stage is also a 35mm film can with the coordinates for the final location of the main cache, a one gallon plastic container. Don't forget to bring something to write on/with so you can note the coordinates for the different stages. Watch for Mountain Trolls... they could be anywhere. The original contents:
log book and pencil w/sharpener
compass (thought the 1st finder might want to take that)
seashells
Hillbilly Bubble Bath
mini Christmas ornaments
Bug repelent wipes
Refrig magnet
Rocking horse (small... for a shadowbox)
aliens
Tupperware key chain
Schoolhouse pin
stamper
mardi-gras beads
sun glasses
bouncy ball
fisherman & fish
wooden brain teaser puzzle, and...

This is a beautiful area. If you happen to visit the "point", be careful. Don't let children get ahead of you. The view is spectacular, but no place for little ones to be unattended. It's a long way down. You don't have to bushwhack except for the last stage, so please don't... especially around Long Point. Don't forget to pick up "Long Point" cache by HuntersUS while you're at it. I hope you enjoy this multi-staged cache as much as we did putting it together.
