Geocache Description:


You are looking for a 4-ounce plastic container with a screw-on lid. It is well camouflaged. The cache is off the beaten path just a bit but the going is pretty easy. Watch out for muggles at times. Tree cover may affect GPS accuracy. There is only room for the smallest trade items, although I left a "five spot" for the first-to-find. Bring your own pen.

This cache will take you to the banks of the South Branch of the Edisto River near Bamberg, South Carolina. The Edisto River is the longest completely undammed and unleveed blackwater river in North America, flowing 206 miles from its source in Saluda County to the Atlantic Ocean at Edisto Beach. It’s two main tributaries (North Fork and South Fork) arise from springs under the Sandhills region of South Carolina. The Edisto is the longest river system completely contained by the borders of South Carolina.

The river system, being blackwater throughout its entire length, flows through highly intermittent bottom swampland. Thus, with excessive rain, the river will leave its main channel, with its flow basin increasing to over a mile or more of total width. You will see evidence of the expanded flow basin near the cache site. The lower Edisto basin forms a crucial part of the ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge.
