Geocache Description:

Camo'd micro on Middle Street Steps.  Should be quick find.
 


We love other cachers' step caches, so we decided to place our first hide here.  The Middle Street Steps are one of the 712 public staircases in the city of Pittsburgh.  They were featured on the cover of Bob Regan's "Steps of Pittsburgh."  These 101 steps connect Knoll St. to Dunloe St.  From the top of the steps you get a nice view of the Steel Tower and parts of downtown.  Middle Street was also one of the streets Alex rode down in the opening scene of "Flash Dance." 

There is no parking space at the top of the stairs, so you will want to park on Knoll or Middle.  As long as you don't stick around for more than two hours, you'll be fine.  Muggles do occasionally use the steps, so use common sense.

Container is a camoflauged pill bottle that we found when doing "Steps of Pittsburgh: Anthony Street (GC3QEKH). &quote  It is accessible from the staircase.  Please rehide carefully. 

There is a Meeple for the FTF inside.

Congrats to Rooster6 for FTF!
