This should be an easy educational 4 part multi cache.Although there is approximately a 2.9 mile walk in the park there is very little bushwacking involved,most of the terrain is almost level. Our 3yr old Grandaughter had made the hike all by herself when setting up the cache.
First I must give a Big Thank you to Harvey Lubold Sr for all the help he gave me in setting up this hide,the pictures,history and a bonus,a DVD that is very interesting and is availble in the final part with more history then I can explain.Harvey had lived in Bear Valley till the age of 4 1/2(1925) and had visted friends and family for many years after.He had many many stories as we walked the same roads you will as you enjoy the history in this area time has forgotten. There is no need to bushwack,this area has many open mine pits which can be very easily seen.In part one(an ammo can) there is a note to start things off,DO NOT remove it or any other pictures that you will see.There are pictures in part 2 & part 3(decons) to give you an idea how things have changed.From part 2 to part 3 you will be walking on the old loggie road where the coal was taken from the #1 mine over to the tunnel and through it to Williamstown to be processed and shipped by railroad. The final part is a large ammo can full of lots of goodies and numerous pictures that must stay in the ammo can for others to enjoy.If you would like to have any Pictures e-mail me and I will be happy to mail them to you.There are also DVDs of the Mine Patch,please feel free to take one and enjoy.Leave me a note in your log if you took one so I can replace it. This four part multi is on public hunting ground and all PGC rules must be followed,when in doubt wear the appropriate daylight orange. There is an unactivated 2007 Schuylkill County Geo coin for the FTF prize .As with this cache and all others you must have fun!!
