I will share it with you if I go.

Where do you come up with it only being a 2 mile hike? What I'm finding is a
4.6 mile loop trail plus a .8 mile spur (I'm not sure if that is one way are
round trip) trail to the cave.

This is from the cache page -
*RATING SYSTEM NOTE*
This cache's rating will be different depending on what mode of travel you
will be using.
Difficulty rating: Paddling 5 Hiking 1-2
Terrain rating: Paddling 5 Hiking 3.25

I think it is rated a 5 by river since you have mess with using a canoe.

I'd like it too-if you hike it, can you send me a track?

I think that cache is an example of how caching has gone downhill.  It is
rated 5/5 and all you have to do is a moderate 2 mile hike and answer how
big you think the cave entrance is.  Most people could do the cache in an
hour or two.  What's next PNGs being rated 5/5?  If that's not bad enough,
he could not get the landowner to give him permission, so he got the
National Park Service to give him permission to place a cache on private
property!  So far  the NPS won't allow caching in Ozark National Scenic
Riverways, but they give permission to place an Earth cache on someone
else's private property - the NPS does not even have a scenic easement on
the property!
