12 mile strip

Very scary hike along a narrow ledge, across a waterfall, while not looking down.

Adventure Cache

Almost To Wash Hollow Falls

Great hike in a area with views to die for.

Beauty Mountain Overlook

Got to love a cache that you have to bushwack up the side of a mountain to claim

Black Balsam Briars

This cache will always be in my top 10. This was Daggy's, my wife, very first cache. After a significant climb we were caught in a thunderstorm just as we reached the cache. The cache is also located on my favorite trail, The Appalachian Trail. The view from the top though not spectacular was nice.  

Blood Mountain

Caney Fork Overlook

Cathy slips and Falls

What a great cache. There is a small vertical opening to the cave. You go in about 10ft and then squirm left and then right. The entrance is out of sight and there is a deep hole at the end of the cave.  

Cave Rat's Nest

Chimney Rock

Chimney Rock Park Geology

A five mile climb in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains will bring you to this excellent cache with a fantastic panaramic view. I backpacked up with 5 other cachers and we enjoyed a wonderful night on Cold Mountain. 

Cold Mountain

Courthouse Falls

Devil's Backbone

Devil's Cauldron

This was my 12,000 find. This cache had it all. A mountain stream with lots of small waterfalls. A huge climb to the top and lots of views.

Go4th and Up 

Great hike with everything. Waterfalls, views and a chance to fall to your death. Located at Hawks Nest SP near the New River Gorge

Hawks Beak

Tough drive and tough uphill hike makes this one jump onto the list

Indian Springs

This virtual sits atop one of my favorite places in the world, Mt Leconte in The Great Smokey Mountain National Park. A 6 mile hike gets you to the top with plenty of view at the top and on the climb up.  

Llama's Lament

A short hike to an unexpected falls. I have been to falls with longer drops but this was a hidden treasure.

Mabbitt Springs Cache

Of all the caches that I have found and all the traveling I have done these are the ones that I always talk about when asked what my favorites are.
