Retrieve It from a Cache 11/4/2008 whispering bamboo retrieved it from On the Creek Virginia   Visit Log

"On the Creek" was found while taking a quick break from my Election Day photography in the area.

Marked it with the Sword of Ansolon because of the scenic location.

Very enjoyable find! ... The rest of team "Totally Tripp'n" and I enjoyed this location immensely as the waterfall was incredible!

We had to walk rather carefully, however, so as not to slip, slide or fall.

Most definitely worth 'marking' with the "Sword of Ansolon."

Two things make this cache worthy of anyone's visit ... the creativity that went into the hide for this as well as the trail off which it is located!!!

Really enjoyed not only finding this cache but where it is hidden.

I have always been a fan of Sam Houston.
