Geocache Description:

Follow Tunnel Road up from the town of Coburn until you reach one of the two parking areas on either end of the tunnel. This cache is rated 3.5 for difficulty and a 4 for terrain. Although please note this rating could go up or down depending on the time of year. Extreme caution should be taken at all times in and around the tunnel. Please note that one does not need to rock climb to get this one.

This basically a two stage multi-cache but it's listed as a Mystery Cache. When you arrive at stage one you will notice that it's very unique. Make sure to get your N and W coordinates before proceeding to the final. You will find more than a few ways to get to both stages. Take some time and figure it out. Go slow to let your GPS settle down and show you the correct direction.

In addition to the attributes listed please beware of spiders and bats that you may find inside the tunnel, as well as other woodly creatures outside. A good stick for poking around would also be advised during snake season.

After you finish the cache you might want to talk a walk across the bridge and onto the Rails-to-Trails path into Bald Eagle State Forest. This area is well used on the weekend by hikers, bikers, and fisherman. Please be mindful of their time in the woods.

Please return stage one and the final exactly as you find them.
