It is easily accessible from I-78, either the Lenhartsville exit or the Hamburg exit. You'll have to hike two miles up a mountain road to get to this cache! Elevation is 1600' ASL
This cache is located on top of a mountain on the Lehigh Valley Amateur Astronomical Society Site (LVAAS). This is an LVAAS-Approved Cache and has been reviewed by the NPS.
(visit link)

It will be a 1.5 mile climb up on an access road known to locals as "Cardiac Hill" to find this cache. A good walking stick and plenty of water are also a good idea. There is an elevation gain of about 1,000' from the parking lot to the top. The entire round trip is about three miles.

Please replace any item you take with another Astromonical or LVAAS-related item.

Have fun!

Hit this cache during a 21 mile AT trek to complete Northern Corner of Berks - Supreme Vistas with Linuxxpert. We were lucky to find this, given the snow... had to use geosense. TFTC.
