Geocache Description:

In Fruitvale, drive up Old Mill road to the Nipkow greenhouse complex at the very end of the road. This is a fairly steep climb making your own trail or following
existing game trails. Some loose shale patches. There is a sheer
rock cliff over looking Fruitvale so exercise caution if taking
children.

You are looking for a regular lock and lock box that contains small
trading items a log book, pencils and a "FTF" prize.

There are several approaches to this mountain from Fruitvale. If
you choose to park at the top of "Old Mill Road" which will put you
at the Nipkow Greenhouses, please do not block the paying customers
parking. Arrangements have been made with the landowner, Al
Rothwell to cross his field to get to the base of the mountain.


NOTE: " PLEASE CHECK IN WITH THE OWNERS AT THE HOUSE OR AT THE
GREENHOUSE TO LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE CROSSING THEIR LAND. Be
respectful of fences.


Drop by the greenhouse
and have a look around.


Enjoy the hike and the spectacular view of the Beaver Valley
