Geocache Description:

Located on the Cumberland Mountain View Drive, aka 611, aka Blowing Rock Road

This cache is located at the foundation of an old Ranger's cabin. It was also one of the earliest settlements south of the mountain. Now days it serves as the gateway for many hunters and horse back riders to venture deep into the Jefferson National Forest.

This place can be quite busy during hunting season, though I don't think anyone would hunt quite this close.

Cache is a 9x7x3 clear sterlite container with blue lid. Original contents: Log book w/ pencil, play putty, play doh, glow stick, pack of matches, and 2 35mm film cannisters

Reverse if coming from the Bartlick/Haysi direction. This is an all day and maybe then some cache adventure so plan ahead and give yourself time if you really want to hit it hard!
