To access Betsy Bell Park, take Greenville Avenue (US Route 11) in Staunton to Betsy Bell Road (across from Arby's and next to Burger King). At the end of the paved road there is a gravel road that climbs through the park. Drivers are advised that the road is narrow and steep with loose-packed gravel and some serious potholes. As of summer 2019, new signs have been added that state "No Cars with Low Ground Clearance". As always, it would be a challenge if you met a car moving in the opposite direction. You might want a 4WD vehicle or plan to hike up - which would make the terrain more like a 2.5. Please exercise caution.
This cache is near the lower overlook of the park, where there is a southeast view of US 11 and I-81 with the mountains of the Blue Ridge Parkway in the distance. Park at the overlook parking and, in addition to finding the cache across the road, be sure to check out the overlook and hike a few yards past it to the nearby bench for a slightly different vantage point.
This cache keeps disappearing. It is now hidden in a much more concealed fashion. Please replace as found and conceal it well. Hint should be helpful. Thanks!
This cache is registered with the Staunton Department of Recreation and Parks. In this park there are a number of other geocaches and two letterboxes (www.letterboxing.org).
