Going to Never, Never Land (GC1BPAP) Leeds, AL 11/9/08

11/2/08 - We saw this cache publish and realized no one was claiming the “First to Find” glory. We reluctantly wait for the weekend to drive out and have a look around.  Little did we realize what a rough drive in and as the cache owners states...a 4 wheel drive vehicle is definitely not a must, but could save you from a long trek. We maneuver the Jeep as best we could and were forced to park about .12 miles from the cache site due to the fact that we just recently replaced the soft top and didn't want to scratch the tinted windows...things got tight! After finally arriving and searching, we thought we had the find, but it ended up being a decoy and not the prize. Great area and we will be back to make the find soon.

11/9/08 - Here we go again on our second adventure with this cache. We called up ScooterBill to see if he wanted to attempt this cache with us and he was game! We planned to meet up at the service road entrance. We arrived first and while waiting, Leeds finest drive by and decided to have a little chat with us. We explain geocaching and he acts a little bit like he knows what we are talking about. He wants to know the coordinates to the cache and Jim shows him the GPS. He seems satisfied and said, "Have a nice day and I hope you find it." ScooterBill shows up just minutes after the police left. We both drive to the overpass bridge and we decide to take the Jeep in. We bushwhack a little section of the path that kept us from going in last time. Now, we are able to take the Jeep all the way to the cache site. Mimi makes the find and it's not long when we have the prize in hand. We share the FTF honors with SB. After this business is taken care of, we explore the area more thoroughly. Again, amazed at the beauty and the old bridge supports that still exists. We all take a few photos and leave. We'll come back and explore more of the side roads here.

6/13/09 – This awesome place keeps drawing up back here.  We decided to share this with some of our geocaching friends, so we held an event and made another trek in. The weather decided to have a little fun with us as well and rained heavily the night before and kept up a misting rain most of the day, which makes driving a bit more treacherous.

We have two Jeeps with us today as Beep~Beep aka Ray, has a monster Jeep and CaverScott with him and we take oldboyhiker in with us.  We lead the way down the slick, and even more rutted than before, path to the river. We soon get to a puddle, Jim doesn’t want to risk getting our Jeep stuck in, so we let Ray and the monster Jeep go ahead and lead the way to the water.
