Geocache Description:

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

Number Five 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, and #4 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 five 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 is placed in GWNF's Taskers Gap ORV area and you could get to this via horseback, ATV, mountain bike or even a good hike - "Good" being a subjective word here :-). This one is placed at close to 2400ft elevation, directly on the peak of one of the mountains. Don't think for a second that 4x4 means you can take the family SUV out and bag this one. You will more than likely get stuck. Vehicle access to this cache requires high ground clearance, and involves tight 4x4 trails and lots of rocks. Consider this the disclaimer.
