Geocache Description:

The 3rd of the Mt. Raub Caches

This is the third of at least four caches on Mt. Raub. If you mark these three on a topo map, you will be able to guess where the fourth is going. This cache is about 1/2 mile from the original Mt. Raub Cache and about 7/10 of a mile from Mt. Raub #2, if you're a crow that is. The elevation is about 2025 feet.

Again, you can park at N41.57.522 W078.38.044. Walk to the top of Oak Hill Cemetery and follow the washed out road to the original Mt. Raub cache. From there, it is all on old roads except for the last 300 feet or so, which is a difficult climb. There are other ways into there and possibly someone will share this information with you. I can't because it has been too many years since I drove these roads. I can almost assure you if you drive, you'll need a Jeep or a 4-wheeler.

I felt this was a difficult cache so I made the treasure worth finding. The cache is a green ammo box but not as big as a .50 caliber. Inside is the log book, several compasses including a nice map compass, an electronic stopwatch, a small Dremel drill bit set, some other bit sets for screwdrivers, Coleman light sticks, key chains, etc. Also included in the cache are some silver coins from days past. No, you're not going to get rich off these coins. These are all common date, well-worn coins. But to those who did not grow up with circulating coins, this may be special to them. Please, only take one and leave the rest for others who travel this way. There is a Morgan and Peace dollar included for the FTF if they wish. Happy Hunting.
