The cache is located in the “PEA RIDGE CONSERVATION AREA”. The main entrance is south of Sullivan on Highway 185. There is a sign on the other side of highway 185 where you turn in. Pay attention or you may miss it This is a multi cache that will take you to a spring and then to a sinkhole. It is a short easy cache.
1- The Conservation Area is open to multiple public uses including hunting, fishing, and hiking;
2- Trespass onto adjacent private property is not permitted and trespass complaints may result in revocation of this permit;
3- Geocaches are allowed on the Pea Ridge Conservation Area by Special Use Permit only;
4- Searching for geocaches is strongly discouraged during firearms deer and spring turkey seasons;
5- Persons searching for geocaches during the firearms deer season and firearms turkey season are strongly encouraged to wear hunter orange
The cache is near the camping area on Indian creek. This looks like a great place to bring the kids during the summer.
I never used to be impressed by sinkholes until I found out what they were. Now I sit by or in them and try to imagine the circumstances leading to their creation.
This one isn’t very big but what makes it interesting ,(Other than the fact that it was the roof of a cave that collapsed), is that at one end is the exposed part of the cave.
Permission from the MDC was granted for this cache.
