I was introduced to geocaching by a great guy, Lodestone, a year or two after we met and have been caching ever since. I will always be thankful that he introduced me to this wonderful activity that gets me fun exercise and visits to interesting places. As for this cache, when we are in the woods and there’s a tricky micro, we can never figure out why with so many hiding places for larger containers someone hides a micro. So in honor of Lodestone, I have hidden a micro in the woods.
This geocache is one in a series of 15 that I have placed along the Cub Lake Trail in Natchez Trace State Park located in Wildersville, Tennessee. Natchez Trace State Park is a 10,154 acre state park located within a 48,000 acre state forest and wildlife management area. Cub Lake is approximately 52 acres in size and the trail around it is approximately 5.8 miles long and considered moderate difficulty. There are approximately 13.5 miles of hiking trails in the park and an overnight trail that is 40 miles long. Other activities at the park include swimming at Cub Lake, boating on various lakes, mountain biking, fishing, and horseback riding. There are also campgrounds and pavilions available for rental.
I would like to thank Walter Pope, park manager, for granting permission for these geocache hides. Please be respectful of the area and stay on the trails for as long as possible. Be sure to bring your boots if you do the whole trail, it can get muddy in sections. This area is bit brushy.
