(Used to be) Big Ol' Trout Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

slackpacker: Fun while it lasted, but I don't cache any more. I was fine leaving caches out there until GC changed their business model, made the $10 app I purchased a few years ago obsolete and replaced it with a marginally-useful new subscription-based app. Its their prerogative, but I figure I don't need to support that business model with my time and materials.

Geocache Description:

A park-n-grab (hopefully!) near beautiful Mill Creek in downtown Highlands, NC.

One of my kids' favorite things in Highlands was to visit the large trout that lived in Mill Creek, just upstream from 4th St. The trout were placed in the creek annually, and a coin-operated feeder on the nearby restaurant's deck allowed patrons to fatten-up the fish all summer - some reached 18 inches in length, and were as big around as a loaf of bread. Unfortunately, the big fish and feeder are no longer there - although a few native (much smaller) trout can usually been seen swimming in the creek.

You are looking for a micro cache in an atypical container; there are usually many people around, so practice stealth - and please replace the container exactly as you found it.

FTF honors go to GA Mountaineer, greystone_girl, and scout215 !
