Congrats goes out to RubyO who
braved the cold and snow to be the FTF!
This is in Poland Woods; so use the parking lot
at the end of College Street at coordinates. N 41 00.987 W 08
37.154 There are also entrances off Indian trail, and Poland Manor.
Do not enter the park through Paulin Drive that is all private
property. There is room for one car to park at the end of Rosehedge
Dr. as this also makes for a very nice walk.
Again, you cannot get to the cache from the
freeway. This cache is about as far west as you can go in Poland
Woods and about fifty feet off the path.
I picked this area, because there use to be
beaver dams here.
I call this Poland Woods Adventure, because of
everything you may see on your way. There is an abundant deer
population; wild turkey, raccoons, and a whole list of smaller
animals may also be encountered. This is also a great area to do
some bird watching.
You can pick up a free map of Poland Woods at the
entrance. This way you can use a different path coming back from
the path than you used coming in. Just a note, some of the
secondary paths can get a little overgrown, and muddy.
There are muggles in the woods, but with a little
bit of stealth they should not be a problem. The terrain rating is
mostly for the last hundred yards or so (depending on the path you
decide there could be a lot more mud) you will end up on a narrow
dirt path with a substantial drop off on the one side. There are
also roots that you will need to watch out for.
You may note on the log
it says In Memory of Jack. He was an ex Marine, and worked at YSU
with me. He was one of the best people I have ever had the
privilege to bearound.
Late November
of 2007 he lost his battle with cancer. He never stopped worrying
about his family and friends, and I am sure he is watching over
them
now.
So do me a favor, and give him a salute when you put the
cache back.
I hope you enjoy this (my first) cache and I hope
you enjoy your time in the park. There are some goodies for the
FTF. A four pack of AA batteries. A US Navy key lanyard Please put
this cache back as close as you can to the way you found
it.
