AGT-Warren-Irvine at Night Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

miatabug: I took the fairly long walk out to this cache, figuring that I would be taking back the ammo can for reuse. Not only was the ammo can gone from the tree it was in, but so were all of the reflective ties around the tree and those leading to the cache.

The "beanfield" has changed a lot over the years since this cache was placed, and it seems that forces human and maybe natural too have wiped away all aspects of this cache.

Geocache Description:


The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular geocache, however, it is also part of the Allegheny GeoTrail (AGT), a publicly funded project designed to promote a pleasant and positive experience and image of the Allegheny National Forest region and its gateway communities. The AGT utilizes the growing interest in geocaching to assist both residents and visitors to the area in learning more about the unique attractions in the ten participating counties. This cache contains a unique self inking rubber stamp which you should use to stamp your Allegheny GeoTrail Passport to verify that you found it. When you have found a minimum of six AGT caches, you will be eligible to have your AGT passport validated and receive a commemorative AGT trackable geocoin at participating locations. You must have your official AGT passport with you when you find this cache in order to stamp it. Click on the Allegheny GeoTrail Logo below to visit the AGT website at www.alleghenygeotrail.com for complete details and a listing of participating locations where you may pick up and validate AGT passports to receive your souvenir geocoin, trackable at www.geocaching.com .

This cache will take you on a night walk through Irvine Flats. This is Warren County's first night cache. When we first walked out to place this cache we were amazed at the evening view of the stars, If you are lucky enough to be here on a clear night, you will enjoy a great view of the evening sky.

The walk to this cache is over flat ground. The cache earns its terrain rating with a round-trip distance of about 1 1/2 miles, a walk through areas of potentially high brush growth, and a walk in the dark in a field that may have holes or tree branches on the ground. To find this cache, you will need a very bright flash light. We suggest you find it with a friend and always waymark your car.

The cache starts at the listed coordinates. When you reach these coordinates, you will need to find a reflective marker. Once you have found that marker, continue along the trail looking for the next marker. Your entire journey will be in the field. At no point on your journey should you head into the woods or cross the swamp. Markers will vary in distance from 50' to 150'. Some will be more difficult to find than others. Continue walking through the fields until you find a tree ringed with reflective markers. The cache is hidden in one of the adjacent trees. Once you have found the cache, please return it as you found it. Please DO NOT TAKE THE STAMP.

We don't think this cache can be found during the day, but if you attempt the find, be sure to wear orange during hunting season. The area will often get quite foggy as the evening progresses. As you walk the field, you may encounter pockets of really cold air. We have never actually seen dementors as we walked the field, but you may want to be on the look-out. We hope you enjoy this spooky, fun hunt and a great view of the stars.
