Geocache Description:

WARNING! This cache is LAME!

I was inspired to hide this cache by the genius who hid a similar cache at the other service plaza on the eastbound side of the Pennsylvania Turnpike near New Stantion (sic). This one is hidden on the westbound side so that travelers going the other way can also enjoy a cache hunt. I figured that I had better get dibs on this spot before somebody else got it. Why didn’t I think of this before? How could I be so dumb? Here I was lugging heavy ammo cans full of stuff way up into the hills when I could have just dropped a film canister into the grass by the turnpike less than 5 minutes from home! If you have enjoyed any of my other hides then you will not like this one at all. It is exactly nothing like any of my other caches. Please do not go looking for it! I, personally, wouldn’t want to go hunting for this cache on a bet but then there is no accounting for taste, is there?

This cache is hidden just like its inspiration on the other side of the pike. A certain amount of stealth will be required to bag this cache since you will be in the direct view of the MacDonald’s employees working the drive thru window. Be on the lookout for the police who frequent this area because they could take exception to strange behavior around the dumpsters. They may try to arrest you for vagrancy if they think you are poking around in the trash for something to eat. Have the cache page at the ready and politely explain that you are looking for a piece of trash stuffed inside a small plastic container. They may accept this explanation or have you committed but either way you’ll have a great story to tell!

I hid this cache really well so that it would be very difficult to find because some people really enjoy the challenge of looking for a needle in a haystack. If you enjoy a challenge like this and cannot resist a cache conveniently located by a superhighway then this is the cache for you! Cache is small, so remember to bring something to write with.
