Geocache Description:


THIS CACHE IS LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES - THERE IS NO PUZZLE TO SOLVE

Many years ago when I was two months old, my family relocated to East Stroudsburg. I grew up in the Poconos, attended and graduated high school in the Poconos, earned my undergraduate degree in the Poconos, met my future wife and married her in the Poconos, and well... I guess you could say I have my roots in the Poconos.

I've taught in two PA school districts but now live a little north of the Poconos.

Now that I'm a geocacher, it's always fun to return to the Stroudsburgs to cache, often in places I knew well long before there ever was something called a geocache. Through this game/hobby, I've been able to spend good time and enjoy meeting many a Pocono geocacher, becoming great friends with some of them too! This cache is dedicated to all Pocono geocachers.

Originally, this description read,
"In order to log this cache, please do these two things...

  1. find the cache and sign the log;
  2. post a photo of yourself with your GPS at the sign with your log.*


This cache is not meant to be difficult - it was created as a fun way to collect photos, making a really cool "Who's Who" of geocachers with an almost-virtual cache. The difficulty level is proportional to your camera-shyness.

Note: now, in accordance with Groundspeak's newer policy on alternate logging requirements that was published after the original publication of this geocache, the "requirement" to post a photo is actually just a suggestion.)
