Geocache Description:

Located in Lorimer Park, a 230 acre natural area in Abington Township.

Park in the Lorimer Park lot on Moredon Road, between Pine Road and Huntingdon Pike (Rt. 232). Cache is located in the north side of the park, across the street from the parking area.

Please note the following park rules:
- park hours are 8:00am till sunset (see signs for specific closing time; strictly enforced.)
- sorry, dogs are not allowed
- mountain biking is permitted on park trails, although not recommended for this search

The terrain is steep rolling hills through forests, criss-crossed by streams and well maintained trails.

Be advised that Lyme Disease carrying Deer Ticks inhabit the area. If you venture through the undergrowth you are urged to use bug repellent, check yourself for ticks and bathe as soon as possible.

This is the fourth cache in the park and was introduced at the great "Chillin' & Grillin' With SEPAG" picnic, 11/6/04. It was met with overwhelming approval from the gaggle of cachers who attended. (This was after they had stuffed themselves silly on great food, laughed with great friends, and cached with great gusto!)

Cache is an ammo box that contains starter items generously left by SEPAG members.

Start your hunt by crossing the street and heading down the hill to the most prominent natural feature of the park, then take the easy way across the creek. There is some brush-busting involved, so be especially aware of ticks in-season. Remember, hills are great for the cardio-vascular!
