Geocache Description:

This cache is an easy one for the family, or as a little enticement to pull you in and help get you to the top of the mountain for another placement along the Mid State Trail.  

Enjoy the walk and take your time. 

Be careful to wear orange between mid-November and mid-December!


This trail is probably in its final years as an official trail.  A new access is in development from the other side of the mountain to the Mid State trail.  It will be a much easier, though longer trail.

The name of this cache is significant because students at Park Forest Middle School (PFMS) placed it with me on a trip to do trail maintenance on the Mid State Trail.  They did a great job.  Go ahead and hike to the top and head north,  They have begun moving the Tuscarora and Juniata sandstone chunks to make a more enjoyable walking experience.
