Cache recommendations

[+Erwinia of B & E]

Merry Christmas to all! Hope everyone got a nice shiny new GPS for Christmas. We have a question for all you Southeast area Geocachers. We are closing in on our 300th find. We would like to hear some suggestions as to what would be a worthy cache for this occasion. Here are some of our criteria:

 

A nice hike would be a good place to start. We would be willing to make a fairly long hike if there was some interesting scenery along the way. We like the ones that provide a challenge and get our adreneline flowing (like "Bull's Run", which we did for our 200th find). It needs to be within a 3 hour drive from Charlotte, NC, so that we could do it over a long weekend. We do like a challenge, but we don't want it to be impossible, either. We don't want to drive 3 hours and hike 5 miles only to leave frustrated because we weren't able to find it.

 

So, that is what we're looking for. Any suggestions? Botrytisfree and Erwinia

We enjoyed the Art Loeb Trail Cache in western NC. The cache on a bald with fantastic views in every direction.

Sergi's Legacy is a nice one near Raleigh, but will take some time to do.

you could always ask the Evil Horde to place a special one for you. Warning though...so far most that have hunted ours sit in a corner for months talking to themselves and drooling down their bibs.

. . . is my recommendation, if you haven't already done that one (click here). Although it might be a bit of a drive from Charlotte, it's one of my all-time favorites. There's a nice long hike in a beautiful area. The cache itself is challenging (it's small and sat reception is iffy), but not impossible. I think there's a micro-cache piggy-backed on this one, too, although we didn't know about it until later.

 

BTW, congrats on reaching such a fine geocaching milepost!

I would have to suggest that Waterfall 3 cache in Mississippi (barely) has to be the best for the hike over the river rock stream beds, through the Tunica hills, and the scenery of 4 waterfalls along the way. A tip, bring plenty of water with you. Even in the cool weather the humidity can drain you. This was the most personally achieving cache I have done yet. he hike is a long but beautiful one over some rough terrain sometimes, but not too much. Good luck and congrats on #300.

 

Life is like being on a dog sled team. If you are not the lead dog the view is always the same.
