Yellow Creek Falls
This
cache is located near along some waterfalls on Yellow Creek in
Robbinsville, NC. The Falls are not very well known even
by the local people, which make them a very secluded place to have
a picnic and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere around the falls.
There is a "primitive" trail into the falls if you park along US
129 at the parking coords listed below it is only about a 0.2-mile
walk to the cache. The trail is marked with orange flagging
tape every so often; however, it is possible to get off the
trail so be careful. The trail is not suited for people with
problems climbing, going over or through vegetation. If
you enjoy fishing bring along a pole as their are quite a few
holes located along this creek. If it has been raining you
might even see a few kayaks going off of the falls. Check out
this Website http://www.americanwhitewater.org/rivers/id/3928/ it
has a little more information about and some cool pics of the
falls. I have rated the difficulty to this one a 4 because of
the primitive trail system getting to the cache.
Now for the
Cache. It is an Ammo Can that is well hidden. GPSr was
bouncing around however if you are persistent you should be able to
find the Cache.
