Williamsport Walkabout Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

SirCrab: Deputy Mayor Joan Knode has requested that all caches near the Springfield Barn be archived so that cachers seeking them would not disturb weddings/parties held at the location. So I am archiving this listing in the spirit of keeping good relations with land owners and city officials.
