Located up a rocky trail high above a bluff that over looks Turtle Rock.Parking can be best facilitated in the school parking lot after hours. You'll find a set of stairs keep to your right and a faint dirt trail will take you up and around. Camoed to blend in with it's natural surroundings.

Nature.. as free as a bird Nature.. not speaking a word Nature.. living day by day Nature..always floating away.
Feeling the soil around my feet
The sun rays beating down with heat
My being feeling like I'm not physically here
And when I look around I'm so much more aware.
The energy keeps coming my way
As I buzz through life and play
Nature being free
Nature that is me
Nature gave the garden lots of love and energy
And now the gardens have surrounded me with beauty
And the heavenly scents from each flower in bloom
As we share the space within this big room.
Nature as free as a bird
Nature not speaking a word.

Well I can take this off my DNF list, thanks to MBRIX. I had put this cache on my watch list when I DNF it on the 18th and when MBRIX posted a “found it”, I was spurred on to make another try. I had looked in all the obvious places before and not the least obvious, lesson learned. I did park north of the cache and came “down” to it, a lot!!! easier.

I was concerned that I would not find it since the last person was a no find. Found it after a few min. of looking. Good cammo. TFTC.

Fun grab on the way home from work. Nice view. Hope we get some rain this winter, the brush is incredibly dry. Thanks.

We never would have found it without the cammo. It's been a dry year. It was tucked away pretty well, so we had to dig around a bit to find it, but we finally turned it up. Thanks for the hide. The view was great.

We really enjoyed our hike to this location, and found the cache pretty easily. We sat on the convenient rocks to rest up, sign the log, and enjoy the view. TN L star-shaped key chain. This is a great place for a cache! Too bad more people don't make the effort to climb up here. It's totally worth it.

I was getting ready for a thurough search but stumbled upon it quite quickly. The view is nice and wasn't too far from where I parked...not near the school since school is in session. Cache is in excellent condition. Thanks for more fun this morning.

Visited with Nathan today. This was a great cache for his first day of geocaching. The view is definately a bonus. Came in from the top, which was far easier given the hot weather today. Took a quarter - left a minature brass camel. Thanks!

This is not my day for HazzMatt caches. After being thwarted at Bombastic due to little Kihana's massive birthday party and not finding Foolish Toils because it is probably missing, I was hoping to be rewarded with this cache for all the hiking I did. There were so many possible spots, I just couldn't zero in on the cache. The rock hopping and cactus did me in.
