Geocache Description:

Xrossed's Cave is the newest of our great line of caches that bring geocachers to places with great vistas and interesting locations.

A great story.
As a kid, I heard story's from my brother about an "Indian" cave locted in the woods about 2-4 miles from my house. I would pack a small backpack and spend hours in the woods looking for this "cave" I spent about 2-3 years looking in my spare time and after school. Then, on a sunny fall day one year, I stopped and took a look around me. Sitting 20 feet behind was its opening. I had nearly walked right past it. Inside was remnants of an old fireplace on the back wall with a "chimney" that was now a simple depression in the ground when viewed from above.
Not much is known about this stone chamber and it has recently been reported by team Xrossed to NEARA who investigate these types of formations. See NEARA's website for more interesting information on these(neara.org).

I recently went back to my childhood stomping grounds and brought my only son and new family to the site. After a search of my mind and my childhood rememberances, the cave revealed itself to me yet again.... a full 28 years later.

We think you will find it very interesting. Please read the NEARA website prior to going as it has great background info on these types of formations... It provides great incentive!
Please do not disturb the cave, whereas the cache is nearby and NOT in the cave.
