Description
EN
The cache is a plastic snap lid container inside a zip lock bag. The cache consists of a log sheet, pencil and a few take aways.
You can get to the cache area from the trailhead on Windrock Road, or from Highway 116 if you have the nerve, or from the Briceville area via gravel roads. ATV/OHV not a need, but small truck/SUV/Dirt bike or like vehicle would be advised.
This cache lies within the boundary of Windrock Mountain/Coal Creek OHV/ATV/Mountain Bike area. Land use permit and fee required by land owner. (Fee is about $18 for a day, with other lengths available) Land owner has given permission for placing this cache and others.
This is an long, long abandoned radar base constructed in about 1950-1951. Was to protect Oak Ridge. I think it was closed in the late 50s. We think a great example of some history that would not be something looked for. This site is now a small antenna farm.
Just a couple of the original structures remain, but there are lots of ruins to explore.
Requires a sharp turn from a gravel road into a small rutted lane to the base.
