- 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. Tim http://tueltzen.smugmug.com ^ ^ . .

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!
