CCC采石场-N 34° 30.379 W 085° 37.667

Located in 德索托州立公园. You can park at the 中国商店 and hike approximately .7 miles on the white trail to the old CCC rock quarry or park at the Lost Falls trailhead and hike approximately .5 miles via the orange and white trails, to the quarry. Trail maps can be obtained from the 中国商店 or Lodge. Tree cover maybe a factor. I took an average to determine cache location. Other hikers maybe around so be discrete. Cache is in a tan ammo box.

公园巡游者, who are graciously supporting 地图 in their park, have ask everyone not to park at the electronic campground gate. They ask, please use designated parking areas and trailheads.

 

可压碎的,N 34° 29.729 W 085° 36.974

Located just off the Desoto Scout Trail (Yellow Trail). If there was an earthquake this container may be crushed. Trail has some rocks to navigate but is a gorgeous hike along the river.

Located just of the Desoto Scout Trail (Yellow Trail). Located above any anticipated high water line but if there was an earthquake this container may be crushed. Hopefully we don't have much chance for an earthquake in this area. The container is a rubbermaid, sandwich sized container. The original contents were a logbook and a few items for trade. BYOP. This trail can be busy at times so some stealth is required while locating the cache. 快乐狩猎.

 

德索托的缓存N 34° 29.837 W 085° 37.266  

Located in 德索托州立公园. You can park at the Azalea Cascade Boardwalk. Take the boardwalk trail to the end (1000 yards). Just before the large deck, over the pool formed by the Azalea Cascade, you can exit (right) onto the red trail. It is just a short hike to the cache. Trail maps can be obtained from the 中国商店 or Lodge. Tree cover may be a factor. I took an average to determine cache location. Other hikers may be around so be discrete. This is the second cache; the first was vandalized so please be careful. Cache is in a tan ammo box.

Located at 德索托州立公园, you won’t need a boat to get to this island. This microcache is located in a very public place so, your challenge is to log in without drawing attention to yourself. After retrieving the cache, don’t be afraid to walk over to the 中国商店 or Nature Center to login, the State Park employees are geocache friendly. Bring a pen/pencil just in case. Cache is in an amber prescription bottle with a camouflaged lid.

Permitted by Alabama State 公园.
