The East Branch Dam/Glen Hazel Dam can be seen from this site. Some
bush wacking is needed as you climb for a short distance. There is
no trail; until a few geocachers find this! Be on the lookout for
small dancing fairies. The early morning is a wonderful time to
find this cache and experience the enchantment.
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 meets the DCNR listing guidelines. This cache
was placed with the permission of DCNR. These lands are NOT open to
hunting. The cache is in an ammo box and marked with appropriate
AGT markings. There is plenty of parking and if the Over Flow
parking lot is used, you will be much closer to the cache site.
Your round trip hike will be less than 500 feet if you don't have
to spend too much time searching for the cache. There are many
places to hide a cache at this location so you many have to search.
Have fun.
