The Shamrock Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Skimbosh: Well, poo. A combination of natural treefall and man made treefall (they permanently closed the trail starting from my coordinates) has covered the area I placed the fake rock. I gave it a good search to try and recover it, but I didn't bring my chainsaw. Too bad, this container had history.

I wish I could say this was something new, but it is not.  My first shamrock was a learning experience for sure, so maybe I can pass that on to a newer cacher with this listing.  I normally wouldn't place a cache like this, but I ended up with it and felt geocachingly responsible.

What also is not new is this location, which may or may not have been the sight of a cache before.  Sweet place to heat up some coffee or snap a photo.

The cache IS NOT anywhere in the fireplace, chimney or "throne" so don't go tearing those apart or climbing up the loose structure.

GZ is not far from two different parking areas, but the whole trail is on a hill (called a "mountain" here) and some rocky and bumpy bits are along the way. LOGBOOK ONLY, BYOPen!

No spoilers in the logs, or they will be pruned.  Save it for Instagram or YouTube!
