If you can't find the answers feel free to contact me for a hint.
The cache is in a .50 Cal Ammo can filled with Patriotic swag, although trades are not restricted to this theme.
The cache will take you along a very nice trail in PA State Game Lands, you'll start out along the SGL access road, when it forks, take the road down and to the left. You'll cross a wooden bridge and shortly after that you'll take the trail that goes off to the right. The cache is located along the stream that runs along the path. Hiking shoes are recommended, as the trail gets pretty rocky near the end.
GPS reception isn't too great in the area, but with the hint, and the photos, it shouldn't be too much trouble. You only need to bushwack at the very end, but it is very thick with Mt. Laurels, there's really no easy way in.
There is a FTF prize of an unactivated Celebrate Independence Geocoin!!
