Fall Run Fun Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nellsnake: Although this was one of my favorite caches that I have placed, it has been plagued by maintenance issues basically from the start. Lots of muggles along the trail make it difficult to search stealthily. I checked on the final cache location today, and the cache was nowhere to be found in the area of where it should have been. I do not know what the most recent finders have found, but it was certainly not the intended cache hide. I have decided to archive this cache, which has had a good run over the last 4 1/2 years or so. I have removed Stages A and B of this multi. The park is very beautiful now with the fall foliage colors on a beautiful Saturday and reasonable flows at the falls. Perhaps someone else will be inspired to hide another cache in this great park.

Geocache Description:

This is a three-stage multi-cache located in picturesque Fall Run Park in Shaler Township.

The cache page coordinates listed above are for Stage A, one of two intermediate stages that must be visited enroute to the final. Stage B is located at N 40° 32.293', W 79° 56.595'. The two intermediate stages are small camouflaged containers, which each contain partial coordinates to the final cache and are located at opposite ends of the park. Please bring along a pen and paper to write down the information at Stages A and B and leave the laminated sheets in the cache containers. The final is a 2.5-quart square plastic Lock-n-Lock style container.


NOTE: The final cache was moved slightly away from the original location because it had been muggled twice. The partial coordinates in each of the two preliminary stages have been modified to reflect the changed final cache location.

Enjoy the scenic nature trail that meanders along the ravine and takes you by a beautiful waterfall (N 40° 32.172', W 79° 56.700'). This is a popular place to cool off in the summertime. Take plenty of time to enjoy the views along the way. Suggested parking is at N 40° 31.843', W 79° 56.872'. An alternate parking spot is located at N 40° 32.376', W 79° 56.534'. Good luck!
