Geocache Description:


The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular geocache. However, it is also part of the Allegheny GeoTrail (AGT), a publicly funded project designed to promote a pleasant and positive experience and image of the Allegheny National Forest region and its gateway communities. The AGT utilizes the growing interest in geocaching to assist both residents and visitors to the area in learning more about the unique attractions in the ten participating counties. This cache contains a unique self inking rubber stamp which you should use to stamp your Allegheny GeoTrail Passport to verify that you found it. When you have found a minimum of six AGT caches, you will be eligible to have your AGT passport validated and receive a commemorative AGT trackable geocoin at participating locations. You must have your official AGT passport with you when you find this cache in order to stamp it. Visit the AGT website at www.alleghenygeotrail.com for complete details and a listing of participating locations where you may pick up and validate AGT passports to receive your souvenir geocoin, trackable at www.geocaching.com.






Welcome to Ole Bull State Park! Ole Bull was a world renowned violinist from Bergen, Norway. Looking for a better way of life in the mid 1800's, Ole Bull purchased 11,144 acres of land with the intention of starting his own colony. Many of his fellow countrymen joined him in an attempt to develop the area. Unfortunately, after about 12 months of extreme hardship, most of the Norwegian settlers moved further west to other states. In the 1920's, much of Ole Bull's land was purchased by the state, and later converted to what is now Ole Bull State Park. Many of the Norwegian origins can still be seen by the names of the local roads and towns.

This cache was formerly known as "Ole Cow, What A Casle". The location of the cache is close to the foundation of where Ole Bull started to build his "castle". The walk to the cache is uphill, but well worth the walk due to the scenic value and the rich history of the area. There is a great view, so you might want to bring your camera.

This cache is placed in cooperation with the park staff. If you see a staff member, please let them know of your appreciation in allowing this cache to be placed in this park. Thanks for visiting Potter County!


Please do your part and pick up any litter on your travels - Thanks!
