Geocache Description:

 


*If you liked this cache and would like to see others in the series... check out the bookmark list. If you are interested in placing a cache in this series, visit the AFT page for more information.

Coordinates will take you to possibly the sharpest FIRE/LOOKOUT TOWER you will EVER see! Follow the directions below to find the final cache coordinates. Located on Mt. Cheaha, Alabama's highest elevation, this area is filled with breathtaking views, natural beauty, and plenty of fresh air! Built by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) in the 1930's, this park is filled with great rock work, and the Lookout Tower is as good as it gets! Much of the time, the tower is open to the public, and you can climb and observe for yourself.

To find the final cache, go to the above coords and find the Tower. In front, there are two signs as you approach the structure:

Count the letters on the oval sign, and you will get a two digit number. Multiply that number by 601.375 to find ABCD in the coordinates below.

Now look to the left at the wooden sign. There is a multi-digit number there. Add 6147 to this number to find EFGH.

Final Cache Coordinates: N 33-2A.BCD by W085-4EFGH The cache is not meant to fool YOU, but please replace it carefully and hide it very well, and make sure that NO ONE sees you remove or replace it. The hint below is a complete spoiler so don't look unless you want to know.

*PLEASE NOTE* There is a $5.00 fee for each person to enter the park (well worth it just to see the tower!) and the park is only open during daylight hours.
