I think the 5 is ONLY for specialized equipment. Seems the hike is a fairly
good one which is way above the 1.5 he gave it.. I still don't understand
how difficulty would be a 5. I mean, it's a huge friggin cave.. How
difficult could that be to find?

In any case, I am going to do it..

 

Thanks!

I find it amusing that the difficulty is 5 for kayaking and lower for
hiking, even though I understand how the rating system works (specialized
equipment).  But you KNOW that on a hot humid July day the kayaking would be
a lot more pleasant  :-)

PS it's looking less likely that I'll be able to make it with you guys

Mike,

Did you notice that on the cache page that

*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

Hiking doesn't seem to be a 5/5. Looks like you have to canoe/kayak to be a
5/5.

Does anyone have a saved track or route for Cave Spring on The Current
River? I want the hiking track and not a canoe or kayak track.

The link is http://coord.info/GC22Y58

 

Thanks!

Also, if anyone wants to venture out for this 5/5 EC, I will be planning it
in July..
