Geocache Description:

This cache is very near a pleasant overlook off of the West Ridge Trail in Nisene Marks.

I was studying the Nisene Marks trail map as I prepared to go to Hoffman's Historic Site and I saw a reference to an overlook. Curiosity won me over, and I chose to continue my hike past Hoffman's. Luckily I also came prepared to leave a cache behind.

You have a couple of choices for approaches, but either way you choose, you are in for a good hike.

If you come up the West Ridge Trail from its junction with the Stump Gap Trail, you'll come to a part of the trail that is very exposed to the east. As you just come back into the trees, look for the sign post and the little trail that goes east that leads to "Thompson's Bench". The cache is hidden along the trail to the bench, within 100 feet of the bench.

Be sure to bring the hint with you in case you have poor reception.

Please post any pictures you take from the overlook.

Enjoy! And happy caching!
