"The Mile High
Series of Geocache's"
This series of caches are close to a mile in elevation. The
trails you will take run along the ridge tops at around the 5000’
range. With this series I strongly suggest that you plan ahead get
a good map, available at the
Cheoah
Ranger Station, you will need the “Joyce Kilmer/Slickrock
& Citico Creek Wilderness Map”. A compass is suggested but
not necessary. The terrain you will cross can be very difficult at
times, the weather can change rapidly, and there are many trails
that lead off to other places. If you plan on doing the whole
series of Caches I would suggest you give yourself at least 6 – 8
hours to complete them. You might even want to take a tent along.
Bring plenty of food and water, the only water source is at the
Naked Ground cache. I would not advise bringing children under 10
years old. There is cell phone coverage in places, in case you need
it. Let someone know where you plan to go and when you plan to
return. If you decide to do this series you will not be
disappointed, it is well worth hiking even if they were not any
caches. The view from the Hangover is UNBELIEVEABLE!!When I
placed this series I took a tent and spent the night at the
Stratton Bald. I don’t think you can find a better place to see the
sunset. For now the trails are clearly marked, however at times the
signs go missing.
Now for the Challenge: Anybody can do a Park-n-grab
cache, and they are a dime a dozen in our area. This series is for
only the toughest and most adventuresome cachers around. I expect
to see Orthoguy, Adventurechick, mxfox, Cam man, LL100, MXCR, and
if he is in the area David Mac, racing to get the FTF’s on
these.
Now for the apology: Sorry for most of these caches there
is not much more than a logbook and other items I had on me for my
trip. I will try to get back up and restock soon.
Now for the Cache: You will be looking for a 1/3-gallon
red water cooler. It will have green tape around it to help hide
it. The elevation of the cache is at 5343’. Please try to place the
cache back the way you found it or it will get muggled.
I hope you enjoy the hunt.
The other caches in this series
are
