Everyone's got something to hide, except for me and my MONKEY!
There are plenty of likely hiding spots here, and some may be tough to access. Although it's often best to not post any detail or spoilers about a cache, if you have a fun story or photo from this cache hunt, go ahead and post it.

Here's the story of this cache spot. There was once an ammo box cache here, placed precariously up in a leaning tree. Trees continue to fall here due to the creek washing the sandy soil away. Finders had to be a little acrobatic and a little crazy to attempt the climb. The cache's tree eventually died and rotted, and I'm guessing that's how the ammo box got crushed. The cache was archived before I started Geocaching, and the box was assumed missing. But it was still there, just under a lot of dead tree. Two years after it went “missing” I was surprised to find the original ammo box with its contents, out in the open at the edge of the forest.
That cache was this one: https://coord.info/GCYPYD
It was my friend Pigpen4x4's first cache. There are some cool logs to read on that cache page. There I posted the most recent note of finding the crushed box, with photos. I also returned that old box to Pigpen4x4 at a cache Event. I asked if he planned a new cache, and since he was not placing one there, he let me place my own, which I named “SEATO”, the South Eastern Atlantic Tree Octopus. That one lasted a few years, and the vines and bushes have since died and disintegrated, as the ground changed.
But the spot needed a cache, and it needed to be more like the what I imagine the original cache was like. So now there's Curious Gorge. But watch out. SEATO is still hiding somewhere in the woods, maybe only a couple of miles away.
