Geocache Description:

Just past Ings Interval toward Albert Mines

Turn off the Salem Road going down to the old Ings swimming Hole. Cross the bridge and continue on towards Albert Mines. Just past a clear cut area Your GPS should start pointing you into a nice old stand of trees on the right hand side of the road. Container is a large drink cooler painted(camolike)...Happy Hunting!

The Cache got its name because when I was driving out from the hiding spot,I was stopped by a group of ATVers to take a young man to the hospital.He had put his ATV over the guard rail just past the bridge and dropped 60 or so feet down to the brook....Hence... THE DROP ZONE.
I did get the guy to hospital.He was pretty banged up but will live to tell the tale to his Grandkids.
Made for quite a day of caching adventures for me since this was just after I had misplaced myself in the woods at my previous hide.
