Not far from the highest point in West Virginia, is the highest
cache (to date) in West Virginia.
You will have to ascend to the top of Spruce Knob (4863ft). You can
hike, or you can drive. When you get to the paved parking lot, you
will need to head north on the Huckleberry Trail. As you near your
coordinates, you have to leave the trail and head north west just a
short distance. There you will find a rockbar with a view of the
mountains to the west. Also, there is a campfire ring made of these
rocks and two seats with back (also of stone). Sit on one of those
chairs and enjoy the view, then look across the fire ring and
slightly to the right. There is a medium sized spruce tree only 12
feet away and hidden at its base is my cache. I constructed a
"garage" of stones to protect the cache. Simply remove the flat
stone that is in front to reach the cache container. It is in a
plastic container with the red lid from the former cache on top of
the new cache. Take some time to enjoy the top of this beautiful
mountain. Please replace everything as you found it and do not cram
giant swag into the container. Have fun!
