Geocache Description:

Adopted from Wanderlust.

This cache is a large tupperware container hidden within the recesses of a secret fissure cave off of Hwy 215. The location of the cache is only abut 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 3 miles from Devil's Courthouse. This should be a somewhat quick but fun cache! Cool cave and awesome views!!


You WILL need a flashlight or head lamp to locate this cache, which is concealed within a very unexpected and unassuming "cave". The jumble of gigantic boulders that house this small grotto boasts amazing views from the top of the rocks!! So once you find this cache, explore the boulders, climb around to the top, and check out the scenery!

This cache is great for families and not technical. However, be careful of your footing. The cave is sometimes wet, slippery, and there are numerous holes your foot could slip into if not careful! For those who are more adventurous, continue past the cache's hiding spot and descend deeper into the little room!

The target coordinates lead to the very small and inconspicuous parking area on the shoulder of Hwy 215. Look up at the jumble of boulders, locate the 2 trees and small path leading up to the rocks between those trees to locate the entrance.

BE SURE TO BRING THE HINT...JUST IN CASE YOU NEED IT!! BE SURE TO REPLACE THE CACHE AS YOU FOUND IT!!

FTF HONORS GO TO Mary & Mike, Team Fuzzy!!!
