Geocache Description:

This cache is located near a 120 year old superstructure with a somewhat storied past. Proper footwear is required, but you can hike in, bike in (mountain bike), or ski in. Keep in mind, this is a solid 3/3 rated cache!

What is the superstructure? What is the storied past? Why is it called The Brickyard? You will only learn these things by finding the cache! The coordinates listed above are for the parking area; the coordinates for the cache are N 41° 22._38' W 079° 49.906' (notice the missing digit). To get the complete cache coordinates, you must follow these instructions: The parking coordinates will take you to the end of Aspen Drive. Find the house number of the last house on the left; the sum of the 3 numbers in the house number is your missing digit for the latitude coordinates.
