Geocache Description:

Another cache in the "Follow the Rubicon Trail" series.. Special thanks to NoVa Jeepers!

Fourth in a Series of caches placed while traversing the George Washington National Forest area..If you followed #1 and #2, we told you they would get harder!. If you've done #3, you now know what we're going to put you through :-) The George Washington National Forest is a great wilderness area on the West side of VA, and is an outdoor person's paradise. Easily traveled, there are some areas that are accessible ONLY by 4X4. We're now four caches into this series with a couple of easy ones for #1 and #2, and we raised the bar higher for #3 and #4. This one could easily be rated a 5 terrain, but since a 4x4 is not absolutely necessary, I say that only because you could get to this via horseback, ATV, mountain bike or even a good hike - although not a leisurely one. This cache is not for the faint of heart. Not only is the location remote, but the cache site itself requires a steep, but safe climb to it's location

Don't think for a second that 4x4 means you can take the family SUV out and bag this one. You will get stuck. Vehicle access to this cache requires high ground clearance, and involves water crossings and heavy mud. Consider this the disclaimer.
