JEEC is one of several state parks specifically dedicated to
provide environmental education and interpretation to the
community. A variety of programs are available for children,
teachers, and the general public that increase knowledge and
awareness of the beauty and importance of our natural resources. By
taking some time to explore Jennings through its trail network or
community programs, visitors can enjoy the outdoors while learning
the skills needed to be good stewards of Pennsylvania’s outstanding
natural resources.
Jennings provides a unique combination of prairie and forest,
which offers a wide array of resource and education opportunities.
One of the park’s main features, the 20-acre prairie ecosystem, is
home to distinctive prairie plants and the endangered massasauga
rattlesnake. The most noteworthy and spectacular prairie flower is
the blazing star. Jennings was the first reserve established in
Pennsylvania to protect an individual plant species and remains the
only public and protected prairie in the Commonwealth.
****************************************
Please pick up a Pennsylvania Recreational Guide at the Jennings
Environmental Education Center to familiarize yourself with the
area. The Black Cherry Trail will get you started in the direction
of the cache. At some point you will need to leave this trail and
find your way across the Jennings E. E. Center Hunting area (be
sure to wear orange during the hunting season). There are many deer
and animal trails, old logging roads and a power line, but some
serious bushwhacking will be required at this point depending on
your approach.
Now, on to the cache coordinates! By answering a few simple
questions and filling in the blanks below, you will have the exact
location of the treasure. Remember…answer truthfully…be
precise…fill in each blank…use any order that’s comfortable for
you…repeat a question if you have unanswered blanks.
N 41° _ _ . _ _ _ W 8 _° _ _ . _ _ _
Question one: When you were born, how old were you?
Question two: How much money does a pauper have invested?
Question three: What is the most common shape of a toilet seat?
Question four: Nothing from nothing leaves?
Question five: How may more questions do you need?
This cache is not located on park property. If you would like a
less challenging adventure (3/2) you might look for access along
Muddy Creek Drive.
There is no other
state-of-mind like
Pennsylvania
We hope you enjoy the scenery on your hike!
