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. Click on
the Allegheny GeoTrail Logo below to 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 .
This cache is placed on a hillside off the South Woods Road
along a well traveled deer trail in the Susquehannock State Forest.
This site brings back many fond memories of the deer hunting
escapades with my "DeeR" friend kcepenn. The trail from the parking
spot is all uphill on the way in, but it is a short 0.1 mile walk
and is not too bad if you take your time. I recommend that you
should start your trek by walking to the South end of the parking
area and climb up a short bank to walk parallel to the road for a
short distance before turning uphill. If you do that, it is only
about 50-75 feet of easy bushwacking until you find the trail. Then
just follow the trail diagonally up the hill until your GPS tells
you where to look. The South Woods road should be accessible year
around, however, use your own judgement during winter months. Don't
forget to wear orange safety clothing during hunting
seasons.
