Geocache Description:

This should be a relatively easy cache to find and if you choose the parking spot carefully there is only minimal bushwacking. You are looking for an ammo box but it shouldn't be too difficult to find. We chose to call this cache "Happy Ending" for reasons we won't disclose here.

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. 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.



There's a couple reasons for placing a cache here. For one thing it is a beautiful area and a great place to hike. We purposely placed the cache relatively close to a very neat old spring.

The coords for this spring are:
(41deg 16.919 & 078deg 52.041)

Remember the cache is nearby but not actually at the spring. Use the listed coords to find the cache.

We also wanted to introduce you to the First Conservation Training School in Pa. This was the Ross Leffler School of Conservation and was in operation from 1932-1987. After you find the cache you may want to drive further down the road to (41deg 17.758 & 078deg 52.626) and you can read about this Game School on a Plaque.

Please be advised this is State Game Lands and a very popular hunting area. Cache safely and wear the required amount of orange during hunting season.
