I've been wanting to get this one for months, finally GeoCrashThatch and I made it number one on the list for the day! I agree that the cache is about 80 or so feet off but since it was created in 2002 we used geosense! Iwent one way and he went another and he found it! T-hand warmer, L-beany seahorse tftc!
Once a muggle, but now I'm suddenlyFound!

My 1st of 5 find today with SuddenlyFound. I don't know why it took us so long to attempt this one, being so close to our home. It was a nice hike on this extremely cold day. The cache was indeed about 80 feet from GZ. Please check previous logs to get some updated info from the legendary BigRock95. Cache is in great condition. Nice to finally get this one! TFTC...next!!!

Found after logging Mt. What da heck. I tried looking for both this and Mt. What da heck back in July and came up empty. This one took a little more searching as my gps coord's were about 90 feet from where the cache is located. Since it's close to the Holidays, I left a jingle bell to fit with the theme from the book/movie The Polar Express. TFTC

The Midstate Trail was very busy today. As OleSeeker and I passed by the parking area was overflowing. We returned later after a swamp crossing stymied our progress nearby. Later, when we returned, there were a few spaces but darkness would be soon. We searched the area with headlamps for quite a while. Reviewing the prior logs proved to be of no help since the last online was from June, well before the fallen leaves and blowdowns added to the challenge. A widening of our search, not to mention Ole's determination to find it, led to success.... some eighty feet North from the listed coordinates. We got some variance in our readings at the cache, but .154 and .223 should get you close. Nice to see this early cache still active. TFTC

Seeing that this cache hadn't been logged online since June, it was surprising to see some other signatures in the logbook from July and August. Ah well, I was out for a hike with Bigrock95 this afternoon. Darkness had just settled in as we came down the mountain and started searching for this one. No luck at first so we looked at the hint and widened our search area. Finally, I spotted the container, but about 80 ft. from where both our GPSr centered. It's always nice when persistence is rewarded. Thanks
