Geocache Description:

This local geological feature is somewhat well known amongst the locals, though it is possible to find a few folks that have never heard of the little cave that is found near these coordinates.  Following the ageless tradition of people around the world, individuals have carved their initials into the rocks over the years.  One of the oldest is "Whitten '25"


This geocache is located on private land. The landowners have kindly allowed generations of people to access this geologic feature. Please be respectful by accessing this geocache from the boatlaunch and day use area just north of the cache location. Do not park on the road and descend the hill directly to the cache location.

The cache is most easily accessed by canoeing to the shoreline immediately below the cache location or by snowshoeing across the lake in winter. Otherwise one must pick and choose amongst old trails and game trails that traverse the hillside.

We placed this cache in celebration of successfully completing the 31 Days of Geocaching Challenge during the summer of 2013. This cache is not located in the cave, but is definitely within sight of the cliffs that surround the cave.  The process of locating the cache will likely be somewhat challenging.  The slope is rather steep, the footing precarious and the trails overgrown.  The setting provides a difficult line of sight for the GPS units and the resulting poor reception will make the discovery a pleasant challenge. Be prepared for your gps unit to give you fits. The cache container is a small lnl that contains a pencil, logbook, and a Travel Bug (TB3ZDZ1) that would really like to keep travelling. There is room for a couple of small tradables or perhaps even a steady stream of geocoins. The cache is not visible without manipulation of the local environment.
